Description: Cambridge Jokes combines reprints of two humor books originally published in the 19th Century. The first, The Jokes of the Cambridge Coffee-Houses in the Seventeenth Century, compiled in 1842 by James Orchard Halliwell-Phillipps, comprises the bulk of this volume, and relates dozens of jokes and riddles (some perhaps incomprehensible to modern tastes) compiled from various ‘Jest Books’ popular in the 17th Century. The remainder of this publication reprints the 1913 edition of The Fresher’s Don’t, a humorous guide for incoming freshmen at Cambridge, originally appearing in the 1890s, and likely written by A. J. Storey. This copy is clean and tight with no marking, highlighting, or discoloration, in good condition.
