Clemens, Samuel Langhorne (Mark Twain, pseud.). Men and things. $1.25. Harper.
An illustrated volume of humor, comprising well chosen selections from thirty-six modern humorists including Ade, Aldrich, Bangs, Burdette, Field, Harris, Harte, Holmes, Howells, Nye, Warner and others perhaps less well known but no less amusing. Mark Twain, as compiler, opens the book with this apology, “Those selections in this book which are from my own works were made by my two assistant compilers, not by me. This is why there are not more.”

“It would seem that each author is represented by his inferior work only.”
