Pons Asinorum Or The Future of Nonsense George Edinger and E J C
Neep Originally published in 1929. "A most entertaining essay, rich
in quotation from the old masters of clownship's craft." Saturday
Review The author maintains that true nonsense must be aimless
humour - the humour that makes fun as opposed to the humour that
makes fun of something. 88pp Democritus Or The Future of Laughter
Gerald Gould Originally published in 1929. "Democritus is bound to
be among the favourites of the series. Gould's humour glances at
history, morality, and humanity...wise and witty writing." Observer
Democritus is intended to illustrate the prevailing fashion in
laughter and on the basis of historical and philosophical
principles to forecast the humour of the future. 90pp Mrs Fisher Or
The Future of Humour Robert Graves Originally published in 1928 "Mr
Graves is the best man who could have been chosen to write on this
subject." Daily Express "...perfectly irresponsible, as a joker
should be." The Times This volume analyzes humour with a solemnity
which becomes almost nightmarish. 90pp Babel Or the Past, Present
and Future of Human Speech Richard Paget Originally published in
1930. "...stimulating and absorbing." Journal of Education This
volume discusses human speech and treats it as a growth which must
be tamed if it is to fulfil its highest purpose as a symbolism for
human thought. 86pp
