Synopsis
With a style that combined biting sarcasm with the "language of the free lunch counter," Henry Louis Mencken shook politics and politicians for nearly half a century. Now, fifty years after Mencken’s death, the Johns Hopkins University Press announces The Buncombe Collection, newly packaged editions of nine Mencken classics: Happy Days, Heathen Days, Newspaper Days, Prejudices, Treatise on the Gods, On Politics, Thirty-Five Years of Newspaper Work, Minority Report, and A Second Mencken Chrestomathy.
Controversial even before it was published in 1930, Treatise on the Gods collects Mencken’s scathing commentary on religion.

Review
Treatise on the Gods is most excellent Mencken.
(Books)Scholarly, moderate in tone, and luminously expounded, this book, which has already been bitterly attacked, is an amazingly thought-provoking piece of work.
(Current History)Among the best of his books... a work of genuine scholarship, admirably organized and for the most part surprisingly sober in tone.
