Tobacco in Song and Story Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I assume, in the lack of better evidence, that this is a reprint of the 1896 volume of the same title by John Bain, Jr., who was responsible for a later similar volume titled "Tobacco Leaves".
The book is a "commonplace book" of the sort popular during this period, collecting snippets of prose and poetry praising tobacco, usually jocular in nature. The nature and quality of the entries is characteristic of the period and entertaining if you like this sort of thing or need something to read in your smoking jacket.
If I am wrong in the above description, I would appreciate correction; I have a copy of the 1896 volume and have been researching antecedents for my own interest, although I have not been able to obtain much information on the volume.
