This is a very good copy, of "A Collection of Anecdotes, Witty Sayings, Bon Mots, Bright Repartees, Eccentricities and Reminiscences of Well-Known Men and Women Who are or Have Been Prominent in the Public Eye". Nice. The clever cover and frontispiece by Merle Johnson make the book an automatic winner, but it could be added to any collection containing this H. Ryder Haggard disciple's other works as an unusual entry. ALSO, this copy is a gift PRESENTATION from Kentucky Higher Education Leader J. G. Crabbe to Kentucky's Poet Lauriate J.T.C. Noe in 1908
