Published in 1909, this is an amusing collection of literary faults that irritated Bierce when he was reading critically.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-c.1914) was an American short-story writer, journalist, and critic. He is best known for his short story, ‘An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge’ and a volume of ironic definitions, The Devil’s Dictionary.
