THAYER, Mary Dixon. The Intellectuals, A Friendly Satire. Philadelphia: Dorrance and Co, (1921).

First Edition. Stuart Hay dustjacket art and illustrations. Humorous take-down of modern society's 'intellectuals' of which the author counts herself. "It is not of the impotent Intellectualist, then, of that obscured, impossible individual who invariably dies before he is discovered that I treat; rather of the legions of gratingly self-asserting, self-appraising, self-successful Intellectuals who tread during life the heady trail of Fame and Plenty and sink, at death, into a pit of suitable oblivion". Uncommon. Near Fine in Very Good dustjacket with shallow chipping at spine ends and flap corners.

Price: $75.00
