Complete and unabridged, with 58 full-page plates by Thomas Moran, Julian Onderdonk and George Bellows. Short pieces on the small indignities of modern life - dentists, family photographs, French lessons, the man in the next seat. Benchley was drama critic for Life and then the New Yorker, and half the American humorists of the next generation copied his timing. This edition is bound with 58 plates of painting from 1881 to 1929, among them Charles Dana Gibson, Edvard Munch and George Bellows.
