- Summary:
- "Although its subject is laughter, the present volume is by no means a jest-book. Quite the contrary. In the following pages this subject is investigated carefully and elaborately, and with all the seriousness and gravity becoming a scientific or philosophical inquiry. The phenomenon of laughter is brought into the field of vision in all its most important phases-anatomical, physiological, intellectual, and moral, by which it will be perceived that the subject of laughter is "no laughing matter"-- Preface.
