Mark Twain 
1601 Conversation as it was by the Social Fireside in the Time of the Tudors 

pub One.info thank you for your continued support and wish to present you this new edition. Born irreverent, scrawled Mark Twain on a scratch pad, — like all other people I have ever known or heard of — I am hoping to remain so while there are any reverent irreverences left to make fun of. — [Holograph manuscript of Samuel L. Clemens, in the collection of the F. J. Meine]
