Book synopsis

The prudent husbandman, after having taken from his field all the straw that is there, rakes it over with a wooden rake and gets as much again. The wise child, after the lemonade jug is empty, takes the lemons from the bottom of it and squeezes them into a still larger brew. So does the sagacious author, after having sold his material to the magazines and been paid for it, clap it into book-covers and give it another squeeze. But in the present case the author is of a nice conscience and anxious to place responsibility where it is due. He therefore wishes to make all proper acknowledgments to the editors of "Vanity Fair, The American Magazine, The Popular Magazine, Life, Puck, The Century, Methuen's Annual," and all others who are in any way implicated in the making of this book. -- STEPHEN LEACOCK
