Artemus Ward's Lecture: As Delivered At The Egyptian Hall, London (1869) is a book written by American humorist Charles Farrar Browne under the pen name Artemus Ward. The book is a transcript of Ward's lecture given at the Egyptian Hall in London in 1866, which was a popular entertainment venue at the time. The lecture is a humorous and satirical commentary on American culture and politics, as seen through the eyes of a fictional character named Artemus Ward. The lecture covers a wide range of topics, including the American Civil War, slavery, and the American West. Ward's style of humor is characterized by his use of irony, exaggeration, and absurdity, and his ability to poke fun at the foibles of American society. The book is a classic of American humor and a testament to Ward's wit and talent as a writer and performer.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
