Omschrijving

The author has attempted to present in a concrete and concise way, not only a large number of sensible and appropriate toasts and witty and other after-dinner stories, but also several chapters of general suggestion, which he hopes will be of some value to both the professional and amateur after-dinner speaker and story-teller. It is obvious that neither the author, nor any one else, could produce more than a limited number of original toasts and after dinner stories, and it would be inadvisable for him to do so, because, even if he pos sessed unusual proficiency and ability in this direction, there would be an unavoidable sameness in the result. The author has, therefore, presented both original and borrowed toasts and after-dinner stories and has not omitted a good toast or story because of its age. The selected toasts and stories are both new and old, and the author has certainly vi Preface tried not to present those which are hack neyed or which lack pertinency and point, nor has he given any which cannot be used as a part of an after-dinner address. As the value of the story depends upon conditions, including environment, as well as upon the quality of the story - itself, and as neither conditions nor environment can be anticipated, the author has not classified the stories. Had he done so, he would without doubt have blanketed their effectiveness, be cause most good stories are applicable to several situations and occasions. To classify them would have been practically impossible, and certainly Inadvisable.
