The Devil's Dictionary was begun in a weekly paper in 1881, and was continued in a desultory way and at long intervals until 1906.In that year a large part of it was published in covers with the title The Cynic's Word Book, a name which the author had not the power to reject nor the happiness to approve. Starting with A for Abasement and ending with Z for Zoology, this book is interesting from start to finish with satanic like illustrations throughout for each letter.
