Synopsis
A Sample Case Of Humor by Strickland Gillilan. This early 20th-century collection presents humor as a teachable art, expanding from a humorous lecture into a book-length exploration. Gillilan organizes types of humor and illustrates them with a wealth of anecdotes, sketches, and brief essays drawn from everyday life, travel, family, and rural life. The chapters cover topics such as the origin and purpose of humor, humor in language, and the more delicate shades of wit—pathos and the humor of affliction—alongside playful pieces about children, animals, and everyday misadventures. Through a warm, conversational voice, the author argues that laughter enhances perception, fosters optimism, and helps people cope with trouble. While rooted in American rural and road-life experience, the work offers universal observations about what makes people laugh and why humor matters. Originally published in 1919 by Forbes & Company, it remains a compact, lively anthology of American humor.
