Overview
The Devil's Dictionary was begun in a weekly paper in 1881, and was continued ina desultory way at long intervals until 1906. In that year a large part of it waspublished in covers with the title The Cynic's Word Book, a name which the authorhad not the power to reject or happiness to approve. To quote the publishers of thepresent work: "This more reverent title had previously been forced upon him by the religiousscruples of the last newspaper in which a part of the work had appeared, with thenatural consequence that when it came out in covers the country already had beenflooded by its imitators with a score of 'cynic' books-The Cynic's This, The Cynic'sThat, and The Cynic's t'Other. Most of these books were merely stupid, though someof them added the distinction of silliness. Among them, they brought the word 'cynic'into disfavor so deep that any book bearing it was discredited in advance ofpublication."
