Funny titles



I have a wonderful collection of Library of Congress "proof" cards from
the 60's and 70's with bizarre titles.

Here are a couple of my favorites:

Daggett, David, 1764-1841.  Sun-beams may be extractead from cucumbers,
but the process is tedious.  (4th of July oration to citizens of New
Haven, 1799).

The night-walker: or, Evening rambles in search after lewd women, with the
conferences held with them, &c,  To be publish'd monthly, 'till a
discovery be made of all the chief prostitutes in England, from the
pensionary miss, down to the common strumpet  Dedicated to the whore-masters
of London and Westminster. London, 1696-97.
