Born in Ohio in 1842, journalist, short-story writer and critic Ambrose Bierce developed into one
of this country's most celebrated and cynical wits–a merciless "American Swift" whose literary
barbs were aimed at folly, self-delusion, politics, business, religion, literature and the arts. In this
splendid "dictionary" of epigrams, essays, verses and vignettes, you'll find over 1,000 pointed
definitions, e.g. Congratulation ("The civility of envy"), Coward ("One who in a perilous emergency
thinks with his legs") and Historian ("A broad-gauge gossip"). Anyone who likes to laugh will love
The Devil's Dictionary. Anyone looking for a bon mot to enliven their next speech, paper or
conversation will have a field day thumbing through what H. L. Mencken called "some of the most
gorgeous witticisms in the English language.
