Contents

These “Epigrams” are the same as the “Quotations” in The George Moore Calendar (B13-a), but without dates and slightly rearranged in order. There is no acknowledgment of previous printing, and very likely this Little Blue Books edition was unauthorized. In some advertisements for the series this volume is called Pungent Precepts, but no copy so titled has been located.
