The Complete Cynic's Calendar of Revised Wisdom, 1906 is a satirical book written by Ethel Watts Mumford, originally published in 1905. The book is a collection of humorous and sarcastic quotes, aphorisms, and observations on various topics, including love, marriage, politics, and society. The revised wisdom presented in the book is a parody of traditional moral and ethical values, with a focus on the absurdities and contradictions of human behavior. The author uses a witty and ironic tone to comment on the social norms and conventions of the time, often poking fun at the hypocrisy and pretensions of the upper classes.The book is organized as a calendar, with each page featuring a different quote or observation for each day of the year. The quotes are accompanied by humorous illustrations that add to the satirical tone of the book.Overall, The Complete Cynic's Calendar of Revised Wisdom, 1906 is a witty and entertaining read that offers a humorous take on the social and cultural issues of the early 20th century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in satire and humor, and a valuable historical document that provides insights into the attitudes and values of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
