I have done my best to get a handle on this book. It seems to me to be a series of some nineteen short writings of a humorous and perhaps satiric sort, not without some clever plays on words. Several touch at least on ...

This is an extra copy with missing spine of the fine Burmann edition I have from Ruth Kidson of East Sussex. It is one of the classics of this collection. Carnes 217. Lamb speaks warmly of the standard which Burman set ...
