$70.00
American humor and political satire from 1902. Observations by Mr. Dooley will appeal to readers who enjoy sharp wit, historical perspectives, and books that make them think beyond their own time. Through the voice of an Irish American tavern keeper, Finley Peter Dunne examines politics, war, immigration, class, and public life with humor that exposes pride and hypocrisy. Essays on Sherlock Holmes, the White House, the Philippines, and King Edward’s coronation place the reader inside the debates of the day. Seeing those arguments through Mr. Dooley’s eyes offers a fresh way to question the confident voices of any era. Published by R. H. Russell in New York, this 1902 hardcover states “First Impression, October, 1902” on the copyright page. The original red cloth retains its gilt lettering. The front inner hinge is cracked with binding material visible; the cloth shows rubbing and fraying, especially at the spine and corners. Page edges are toned, with scattered age spots inside. Please review the photos for the binding and overall condition.
