this one has an inscription dated 1917.
interesting that a lot of the pages in this book were folded in half. not really the work of a contented mind..... however it has lovely gold edging on the pages.

Joe Miller's Jests is a compilation of jokes popular around 1750. Joe Miller was a comic actor on the London stage. After his death in 1738 an enterprising publisher asked a little known writer, John Motley, to create the 'jests', and he used Joe Miller's name to make it sell. It was a successful ruse: the 1739 book was a bestseller, and went into several editions, this one is from 1755.
