According to Joshi and Schultz, the essays included here was published in newspapers, but was not collected quickly enough to be featured in The Collected Works of Ambrose Bierce. Vincent Starrett claims Bierce handed off the editing to Howes, who likely wrote the essay titles. A handsome, presentable copy. JOSHI and SCHULTZ, A15; STARRETT, 22.
