pp. vi, 212. Decorated title page. Uncut. 8vo. Original full green cloth binding. Gilt stamped spine. Finley Peter Dunne (1867-1936) was an American humorist and writer from Chicago. His fictional 'Mr. Dooley' expounded upon political and social issues of the day from his South Side Chicago Irish pub and he spoke with the thick verbiage and accent of an Irish immigrant from County Roscommon. Dunne's sly humor and political acumen even won the support of President Theodore Roosevelt, who was a frequent target of Mr. Dooley's barbs. Indeed Dunne's sketches became so popular and such a litmus test of public opinion that they were read each week at cabinet meetings in Roosevelt's White House. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! HUMOR 3

He is best known for his practical jokes, particularly the Berners Street hoax in 1810. The world's first postcard was received by Hook in 1840, which he probably posted to himself. While he was confined in a debtors sponging-house from (1823-1825), he wrote the nine volumes of stories afterwards collected under the title of Sayings and Doings. After various successes Hook returned to his old habits and a prolonged attempt to combine industry and dissipation resulted in the confession that he was done up in purse, in mind and in body. His estate was seized by the Treasury. He never married but lived with Mary Anne Doughty and they had six children. Hook was one of the most brilliant figures of Georgian times. He inspired the characters of Lucian Gay in Benjamin Disraeli's novel Coningsby and Mr Wagg in Thackeray's Vanity Fair. Coleridge praised him as being 'as true a genius as Dante'.
