Ward, Artemus
American wit and humor
"It was a grand scene, Mr. ARTEMUS WARD standing on the platform,
talking; many of the audience sleeping tranquilly in their seats; others
leaving the room and not returning; others crying like a child at some
of the jokes--all, all formed a most impressive scene, and showed the
powers of this remarkable orator. And when he announced that he
should never lecture in that town again, the applause was absolutely
deafening."
