FIRST EDITION FIRST ISSUE IN THE ORIGINAL CLOTH OF THIS EARLY AND INTERESTING WORK BY TWAIN. The title story “is about Twain's encounter with a virus-like jingle and how it occupies his mind for several days until he manages to "infect" another person thus removing the jingle from his mind. <br>The story is significant in that it is a fairly accurate description of a meme and how it can replicate itself in a short time thus acting like a virus in some respects.<br> The narrator Mark Twain sees a catchy jingle in the morning newspaper. The jingle promptly attaches itself to his mind such that he loses concentration and can no longer remember what he ate for breakfast whether he ate at all and what words he was going to use in his novel. The jingle mentally incapacitates him until a few days later he takes a walk with his friend the Reverend and inadvertently transfers the jingle to the reverend's mind. As this happens Twain experiences a sense of relief and returns to his normal life.<br> Some days after Twain was cured the Reverend visits him; he is in a terrible state as the jingle which keeps on repeating in his head has already disabled his concentration. He tells Twain of some incidents where the rhythm of the jingle influenced his actions such as when churchgoers started swaying to the rhythm of his homilies. Taking pity on the man Twain decides to cure him and brings him to a meeting of university students. The Reverend successfully manages to transfer the jingle from himself to the students curing himself and at the same time continuing the diabolical cycle of the jingle.<br> Other sketches in the book include: “Map of Paris with Map†“Random Notes of an Idle Excursion†“An Encounter with an Interviewer†tâ€The Loves of Alonzo Fitz Clarence Etc.†and a number of additional short works.

Strong book with tight firm internal structure. The BAD PART . Neat yet somewhat crude bookbinder slices cover leathers north to south full length to access and reinforce covers. .

ALL have been repaired so to speak and are not ok and are serious faults. Thus this volume cries out for the magical book binder.and all will be well again. . Very Good. Leather. 1st Edition. 1883.
