Encyclopedia of Wit and Wisdom: A Collection of Over Nine Thousand Anecdotes and Illustrations of Life, Character, Humor, and Pathos.
By Henry Hupfield
Philadelphia: David McKay, Publisher
Copyright by Henry Hupfeld, 1877
Copyright by David McKay, 1897
Attractive cover design with gilt lettering.
Here's a great one from a hilarious section dubbed "Inebriates":
The following horizontal musings of a loafing tippler deserve to be perpetuated. Hear him wail:
Leaves have their time to fall,
And so likewise have I;
The reason tho's the same - it
Comes of our getting dry
But here's the difference 'twixt leaves and me
I falls 'more harder' and more frequently'
Condition: The cover has come loose from the binding at the front board and is literally "hanging by a thread" to the back board. Some writing inside, including a "Happy New Year" dedication dated 1918. A few dog earned corners, but pages and text remain firmly bound together.
A wonderfully entertaining book that you can spend hours reading and sharing with house guests!
Free shipping via USPS Media Mail!
