"All his life long, and that's now sixty-two years, H. L. Mencken has been one of hte most industrious readers, writers, and journalists that our country has ever known. But despite his labors in the Augean stables of American art, music, letters, medicine, politics, science, moral theology, and "Brauerei," he has found time to get a great deal of simple fun out of his own buffooneries and those of his fellow citizens. In this third volume of his memoirs, covering the highlights of forty active years, he has set down some of the juicier and more irreverent of his recollections for your edification."
