The Book of Curses
H. G. Wells
From the publisher
"The Book of Curses" by H. G. Wells is a short essay. H. G. Wells once different, humorous social satire and ironic.
Professor Gargoyle, you must understand, has travelled to and fro in the earth, culling flowers of speech: a kind of recording angel he is, but without any sentimental tears. To be plain, he studies swearing.
