By George A. Lofton, A.M., D.D.

TN: Southwestern Publishing House, 1890.

A fun antique book about the peculiarities of character.  This book is beautifully illustrated and includes chapters with titles such as “Pick Yourself Up,” “Church Asses,” “Slander,” “Pot Calling the Kettle Black,” “Profanity,” “The Sulks,” “Bed Too Short, Blanket Too Narrow,” “ and “The Professional Liar.”  This book measures 7.25” x 10” and contains 454 pages.  It is in fair condition with heavy wear to the cover.  The interior pages show age spots.
