Hard Cover. Condition: Near Fine. Near Fine. 4th Printing. 4th printing (Ford-Smith, Folio 76 #1140). Includes publisher's slipcase. Fine book in near fine slipcase. Slipcase faintly scuffed. Binding tight and square, pages clean, bright, and unmarked. 2003 Hard Cover. 288 pp. A collection of humorous vignettes by various authors, with contributions by William Shakespeare, Samuel Johnson, Charles Dickens, Winston S. Churchill, the Queen of England, G.K. Chesterton, P.G. Wodehouse, Mark Twain, Dorothy Parker, Groucho Marx, etc., etc. Ever since Chaucer's day, when the host of the Tabard Inn in Southwark rose to welcome the Canterbury Pilgrims with a joke, the After Dinner Speech, designed, if possible, to reduce the assembled company to helpless merriment, has presented the ultimate challenge. The best speakers are natural story-tellers - Gerard Hoffnung, reading a selection of letters from continental hoteliers: 'There is a French widow in every bedroom affording delightful prospects'; John Mortimer telling the woeful tale of a man's numerous unsuccessful attempts to murder his wife: 'At no time did Mrs Scott feel that the magic had gone out of their marriage' - and in this collection of post-prandial treasures you will find the very best of them, from Groucho Marx on how to resist a femme fatale, to Ralph Steadman surreally addressing the Lewis Carroll Centenary Dinner. 'Goodness', said a friend on greeting Mae West, 'where did you get those beautiful pearls?' 'Goodness', replied Mae, 'had nothing to do with it.' Shaggy dog stories, practical jokes, sporting anecdotes, rousing toasts, travellers' tales and risque reminiscences rub shoulders in this essential collection with real-life revelations and moments of history. Among the guests are Peter Ustinov, Jilly Cooper, Brian Johnstone, Charles Dickens, Dorothy Parker, Robertson Davies, Henry Grady and A.P. Herbert. There is food and drink in abundance. There is gentle reflection and endearing charm as well as defiant frivolity. Above all there are stories for every occasion - witty, absurd, momentous, philosophical, fascinating, poignant, and forever entertaining.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Aids to forensic medicine and toxicology is a book written by W.G. Aitchison Robertson. The book has a plot of seldom medical evidence required with regard to the identification of the living, though it may sometimes be so. Tattoo marks may disappear during life; after death, the coloring matter may be found in the proximal glands. Fingerprint impressions are the most trustworthy of all means of identification. In cases of doubtful sex in the living, the size of the penis or clitoris, and whether perforates or not, should be noted. After puberty, questions about menstrual or vicarious discharges should be asked. The number, kind, and presence of erupted teeth can be used to estimate age. The two most potent are fly agaric, or Agaricus muscarius, and Amanita phalloides. The active principle of the former is phallic and of the latter muscarine. Many diseases, such as diarrhea, enteric fever, and cholera, may be caused by eating infected food. Tyrotoxic cheese consumption has resulted in widespread poisoning epidemics. Ergotism from eating bread made with ergotized wheat is now rare, but pellagra from the consumption of moldy maize is common. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
