Josh Billings was the pseudonym of American humorist Henry Wheeler Shaw (1818-1885), "whose philosophical comments in plain language were widely popular after the American Civil War through his newspaper pieces, books, and comic lectures. He employed the misspellings, fractured grammar, and hopeless logic then current among comic writers who assumed the role of cracker-barrel philosophers. His special contributions were his rustic aphorisms.and his droll delineations of animal life (Britannica). This volume includes the first printing in book form of Mark Twain's letter poking fun at Billings' use of phonetic spelling (see p. 573). BAL 17455.
