16mo, br. ed. 326pp. An incomparable satirist, Ambrose Bierce became the "laughing devil" of the San Francisco news media, for he was about as discreet as a runaway locomotive, according to H.L.Mencken, and nowhere are his uninhibited irony and gift for verse parody more in evidence than in this "dictionary". An incomparable satirist, the author became the "laughing devil" of the San Francisco news media, for he was about as discreet as a runaway locomotive, according to H L Mencken.
