The Foolish Dictionary
by Gideon Wurdz
Publisher: ManyBooks 1904
ISBN/ASIN: B0018IGMCS
Number of pages: 53
Description:
An exhausting work of reference to un-certain English words, their origin, meaning, legitimate and illegitimate use, confused by a few pictures. This is a great sarcastic, witty, and sometimes a bit corny attempt at writing a dictionary.
