Manuscript note in volume one: "Bought at Poynder Sale. June 1855. Sotheby. Lot 67. 1L. This is probably John Poynder (1779-1849) - but his very valuable library was apparently sold by Sotheby in 1850. 'Barnabae Itinerarium, or Barnabee's Journal' is the most famous of poet Richard Brathwaite's (1588?-1673). It appeared in 1638 under the pseudonym 'Corymbaeus.' It is a sparkling record of English travel, in Latin and English verse. It was neglected in its own age, but being reprinted under the title of 'Drunken Barnaby's Four Journeys,' achieved a considerable success during the eighteenth century, and is still in some vogue. The authorship was not ascertained until the publication of the seventh edition by Joseph Haslewood in 1818. Previously supposed authors were known as: Corymbaeus; Philogenes Pandonius; Musaeus Palatinus; Clitus-Alexandrinus. Southey pronounced the original the best piece of rhymed Latin in modern literature. There are great details of 17th century English social life, and drinking customs.

Don Herold (1889-1966) was an American humorist, writer, illustrator, and cartoonist who wrote and illustrated many books and was a contributor to various national magazines. He lived in Los Angeles in the 1920s and 1930s and New York City from 1940 to 1962. This is Herold's first book (of at least eight). It includes about 40 short, funny pieces on American life; with wonderful insights about the post-World War I era leading up to the crash and the Great Depression. Indeed, they are mini cautionary tales for our own time. HUMOR 2
