NEW AND OLD BY MARK TWAIN. 1893. HARTFORD, CONN.: AMERICAN PUBLISHING COMPANY. WATSON GILL, SYRACUSE, N. Y. AL 10 5 9. 67. 130 HARVARD ENTERED according to the Act of Congress, in the year 1875, by In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. PREFACE. I have scattered through this volume a mass of matter which has never been in print before, (such as the "Jumping Frog restored to the English tongue after martyrdom in the French," the "Membranous Croup" sketch, and many others which I need not specify): not doing this in order to make an advertisement of it, but because these things seemed instructive. MARK TWAIN. |
