Centainly

no

one

is

more

capable

of

judging

what

is

hu-

morous

than

MARK

TWAIN.

For

years

he

has

carefully

gath-

ered

what

has

struck

him

as

being

bright

and

amusing,

and

in

this

work

he

has

been

ably

assisted.

This

collection

has

now

been

put

into

book

form,

and

from

the

great

care

that

has

been

bestowed

upon

it,

and

owing

to

the

high

source

from

which

it

emanates,

it

must

become

the

standard

Library

of

Humor.

The

cream

of

American

humor,

from

Washing-

ton

Irving

to

Bill

Nye,

including

the

best

selections

from

Twain's

own

works.

A

short

biographical

sketch

of

each

author

quoted

is

given.

Kemble's

illustrations

are

in

his

best

vein,

and

greatly

enhance

the

value

of

the

book.
