About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Egregious English by T. W. H. Crosland. Read in English by David Wales This 1903 book is a tongue-in-cheek send-up of English people and subjects. Within the humor (or humour), the listener may be surprised by some diamond-hard observations. The listener is also alerted to some attitudes of a different time that would not be acceptable in today's polite discourse. Here writing as “Angus McNeil”, a Scotsman, Crosland was a British author, poet, and journalist (1865-1924) . ( David Wales)
