Taking a page from a character’s project in a Bulwer Lytton novel, the author, a distinguished Victorian man of letters, presents an amusing compendium of errata, misprints, misquotations, mistranslations, imaginings, absurd etymologies, faulty classifications, abuses of upper and lower case, ludicrous student answers to exams, hotel-keepers’ English, and more.
