=Clemens, Samuel Langhorne.= “Mark Twain.” _Mo._, 1835- ----.
A celebrated humourist, who, after an eventful experience as a
journalist, rose to fame by the publication of The Innocents Abroad,
a volume of extravagantly humourous travels, which still remains his
most popular book. Only a very small portion of his writing has any
place as literature, but as an author he is one of the most popular
and successful of his time. Other works of his are, A Tramp Abroad;
Roughing It; Tom Sawyer; The Gilded Age (with C. D. Warner, _infra_);
The Jumping Frog; Life on the Mississippi; Huckleberry Finn; Merry
Tales; A Connecticut Yankee at King Arthur’s Court; Tom Sawyer Abroad;
Pudd’nhead Wilson; The American Claimant. The Prince and the Pauper;
