A New Art Teaching How To Be Plucked is a book written by Scriblerus Redivivus and published in 1835. The book is a treatise on how to fail exams and get plucked (a term used in the 19th century to describe failing an exam). The author takes a humorous approach to the subject, writing in the style of Aristotle and using satire to poke fun at the education system of the time. The book is intended for students in universities and provides tips on how to avoid studying, how to give the appearance of knowledge without actually knowing anything, and how to distract the examiner. The book is a unique and entertaining look at the history of education and the attitudes towards it in the 19th century.To Which Is Added, A Synopsis Of Drinking.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
