A new find not on my want list.
I don't do Saturday shopping. Whenever I find something it is a red
letter day. I came across a title not on my list. I do collect Canadian humor in my period if I can find it. This one, I never want listed. Anon. World Of Wit, A Complete Collection Of Pithy Morceaux, Arranged As Puns, Bon-mots, Jeu-d'esprits, Bulls, Retorts, Repartees Together with an Infinite Fund of Anecdotes, Facetiae, Etc. Second Edition. Halifax, NS Hartley And Walker, 1837. I checked it out at Amicus which is the Canadian Union Catalog. There was no copy, but under the publisher I was able to find a copy, printed that year by that publisher, of the child's version of Robinson Crusoe with Canadian cuts. At any rate, there was no way I could have gotten that ond on my want list, and the Robinson Crusoe made it clear that the publication was possible that year in that place. It has a comical frontispiece and Tp vignette. Sincerely, Annibale |

Great title! Interesting to note that it was a second edition -- I wonder how large the printing was of the first. - Scot Kamins Modern Library Collectors website: http://www.dogeared.com |
