The Toaster's Handbook: Jokes, Stories and Quotations (1916)

How-to book first published in 1916. According to the Preface: "Nothing so frightens a man as the announcement that he is expected to respond to a toast on some appallingly near-by occasion. All ideas he may ever have had on the subject melt away and like a drowning man he clutches furiously at the nearest solid object. This book is intended for such rescue purpose, buoyant and trustworthy but, it is to be hoped, not heavy."
