Merrie Conceited Jests, Of George Peele

Merrie Conceited Jests is a collection of humorous stories and jokes compiled by George Peele, a gentleman and former student at Oxford University. Originally published in the 16th century, this 1809 edition includes a preface and notes by the editor, who provides historical context and explains some of the more obscure references. The jokes cover a wide range of topics, including love, marriage, and politics, and are often bawdy and irreverent. Despite being over 400 years old, many of the jokes are still surprisingly relevant and funny today. This book is a fascinating glimpse into the humor of Elizabethan England and the mind of one of its most talented writers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
