Smoker’s Text Book. By J. Hamer, F.R.S.L. This exquisite little volume comprises the most important passages from the works of eminent men written in favour of the much-abused weed. Its compilation was suggested by a remark made by Sir Bulwer Lytton:—
“A pipe is a great comforter, a pleasant soother. The man who smokes thinks like a sage and acts like a Samaritan.”
⁂ A few copies have been choicely bound in calf antique and morocco, price 10s. 6d. each.
