“KOSCIUSKO AND I FROLICKED AROUND.”
THE HUMOUR OF AMERICA.
Selected by James Barr. With an Introduction and a Comprehensive Biographical Index of American Humorists. Eighty Illustrations by Charles E. Brock.
“Certainly these 462 pages of queer stories and good illustrations are as exceptional for amusing narration as they are for excellence of printing and binding.”—Liverpool Mercury.
“Sparkles and ripples with good things.”—Manchester Examiner.
“Mr. Barr has made his volume as representative as it could well be, and it would be difficult to mention any American writer having a claim to be considered a humorist, who has not had that claim recognised.”—Glasgow Herald.
“The selection is judiciously made, and displays a catholic taste.... The book is a really representative collection of humour, and what passes for humour, in America.”—The Academy.
