THE CELEBRATED JUMPING FROG AND OTHER SKETCHES

Fine verbatim reproduction Of Mark Twain's first book. "Mr. C. H. Webb has celebrated his debut as a publisher by bestowing upon a community long rested from loud laughs, a book calculated to promote healthy good humor in the system. Mark Twain's book of California stories, 'The Jumpin' Frog and Other Sketches' -- is a work that will make its readers merry. . . . There are few who can resist the quaint smiles, keen satire, and hard good sense which form the staple of the writings." --New York Express, 1867
