Book Description
Excerpt from Artemus Ward (Charles Farrar Browne): A Biography and Bibliography The plan of writing a life of the genial showman had long been in mind. The delay in getting it under way was due to the hope of securing several hundred letters, written to Charles A. Shaw of Boston, who told me they contained much that was funnier than any thing ever printed from the pen of A. W. He said he had given them to Mrs. Shaw, who Cherished the idea of making a book out of the material, and he would have to await her pleasure. He died in 1908. Mrs. Shaw survived until 1916, but after her death, though most diligently sought, no trace of the letters could be found. I write, therefore, belatedly and to a new generation, more for the purpose of adding to the annals of Amer ican literature than of reaching a wide circle, and of giving to present-day readers some record of the life and personality of the gentle jester at whose out pourings their fathers and grandfathers laughed so uproariously.

Book Description
There is a story of two "smart" Yankees, one named Hosea and the other Hezekiah, who met in an oyster shop in Boston. Said Hosea, "As to opening oysters, why nothing's easier if you only know how." "And how's how?" asked Hezekiah. "Scotch snuff," replied Hosea, very gravely-"Scotch snuff. Bring a little of it ever so near their noses, and they'll sneeze their lids off." "I know a man who knows a better plan," observed Hezekiah. "He spreads the bivalves in a circle, seats himself in the centre, reads a chapter of Artemus Ward to them, and goes on until they get interested. One by one they gape with astonishment at A. Ward's whoppers, and as they gape my friend whips 'em out, peppers away, and swallows 'em."

Book Description
Charles Farrar Browne (1834-1867) was an American humorous writer, best known under the nom de plume Artemus Ward. He began life as a compositor and occasional contributor to the daily and weekly journals. In 1858, he published in the Cleveland Plaindealer the first of the "Artemus Ward" series, which in a collected form achieved great popularity in both America and England. In 1860 he became editor of Vanity Fair magazine, a humorous New York weekly, which proved a failure. About the same time he began to appear as a lecturer, and by his droll and eccentric humour attracted large audiences. In 1866 Ward visited England, where he became exceedingly popular both as a lecturer and as a contributor to Punch magazine. The "Artemus Ward" stories were collected in The Complete Works of Artemus Ward (in seven parts).
