Brilliant Book Titles of the 19th Century

So it turns out my new favourite title for a book written in the 19th Century was written by a Kerlin.  This is good.  Not sure i'm willing to recommend it for a read though...

Isaac Newton Kerlin (1834-1893), The Mind Unveiled; or a Brief History of Twenty-Two Imbecile Children (Philadelphia: U. Hunt & Son, 1858)

Something i enjoyed reading...

Hunter S. Thompson plus is drinking plus the Kentucky Derby = a good gonzo read





note: you may not recognise Ralph Steadman's name, but you'll know some of his work
