1891380 p. Curiously illustrated by the author in a naive style. Worn original full cloth binding. Lacks endpapers. Large 8vo. 23 cm. A remarkable self-published epic free verse poem that covers a vast landscape of late Victorian-American social and cultural issues and situations. Included is a chapter in black dialect. The heroine of the work is "Millie Floss." Though not a brilliant copy, the book is genuinely scarce. Bascom was a Prohibition Party politician in Steuben County, New York. Probably there is much of local interest in this book. Quite remarkable. W145
1898pp. xviii, 260. Decorated title page. 8vo. Original full green gold stamped cloth binding. Spine slightly darkened. Finley Peter Dunne (1867-1936) was an American humorist and writer from Chicago. His fictional 'Mr. Dooley' expounded upon political and social issues of the day from his South Side Chicago Irish pub and he spoke with the thick verbiage and accent of an Irish immigrant from County Roscommon. Dunne's sly humor and political acumen even won the support of President Theodore Roosevelt, who was a frequent target of Mr. Dooley's barbs. Indeed Dunne's sketches became so popular and such a litmus test of public opinion that they were read each week at cabinet meetings in Roosevelt's White House. HUMOR 3 x
