Courtly Quips & Gentry Gems: The Best of Early English Wit, Ebook

A new, true, and valuable addition to the amount of fun and wit loose in the world! Courtly Quips & Gentry Gems: The Best of Early English Wit, Volume I, is nearly three hundred pages of authentic quips, jests, bon mots, quotations, anecdotes, maxims, etc., from the 1700s and 1800s in England. Many of these appear here for the first time in a modern digitized format — you no longer have to pore over photographs of moldy old pages, with s’s that look like f’s, to read these gems of condensed wisdom and humour.

And you no longer have to slog through a lot of bad rhymes and jokes that didn’t age well and are asking, sometimes begging, to be forgotten. At Gems Press, we save the parts worth saving and bring those to you, nicely formatted.
