Hotch-Pot (1867) - Umbra

Hotch-Pot is a collection of humorous and satirical essays written by Umbra and originally published in 1867. The essays cover a wide range of topics, including politics, society, and culture, and are written in a witty and irreverent style. Some of the essays are parodies of popular literary genres, such as the sentimental novel and the Gothic romance, while others are more straightforward critiques of contemporary society. Throughout the book, Umbra employs a range of literary devices, including irony, sarcasm, and hyperbole, to skewer the foibles and follies of his fellow citizens. Despite its age, Hotch-Pot remains a lively and engaging read, offering a fascinating glimpse into the cultural and political landscape of the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
