"A work of rare humour, a thing of beauty, and a joy for now and ever."—Punch.
THE GENTLE ART OF MAKING ENEMIES
AS PLEASINGLY EXEMPLIFIED IN MANY INSTANCES, WHEREIN THE SERIOUS ONES OF THIS EARTH, CAREFULLY EXASPERATED, HAVE BEEN PRETTILY SPURRED ON TO INDISCRETION AND UNSEEMLINESS, WHILE OVERCOME BY AN UNDUE SENSE OF RIGHT.
BY
J. M'NEILL WHISTLER
"The book in itself, in its binding, print, and arrangement, is a work of art."—Punch.
"There is no lack of wit, bright and original, in the book; indeed, Mr. Whistler's happy thoughts are often irresistibly comic, the very perfection of flippancy and banter."—St. James's Gazette.
"The book is altogether so curious, so dainty in all externals, so absolutely unlike anything that ever before has proceeded from a printing-press."—Academy.
