Description:
New York: Sully and Kleinteich. Very Good in Poor dust jacket. 1906. 1st Edition Thus; First Impression. Hardcover. 143690742X . Book in very good condition with clean text and tight binding. Dust has several chips, but now in mylar cover. Full of Irish Bulls and Funs. The Irish bull can be a potent form of self-conscious equivocation and satire in the hands of a wit's sharp tongue. As such, it is associated particularly with new or marginalized populations, such as the Irish in Britain in the nineteenth century. The Irish were supposedly peculiarly prone to such expressions due to their volubility, their taste for colourful metaphors, and their ignorance (or conversely excessive command) of the English language.; ; 24mo 5" - 6" tall; 164 pages .
