Description First Edition. Some browing and stains to end papers. Very solid, clean copy. Gilt on front board bright. "As I see him, Mr. Menchen is a skeptic of the first rank - an American Rabelais, Swift of Shaw - who has somehow abused his gifts. As an artist, he might have written a" Gargantua" or a "Gulliver's Travels". Instead he devoted himself almost wholly to the passing scene, and except for "The American Language", the "Days" books, and a few selections from the others, has produced no works likely to endure."
