  The Devil's Dictionary Books
      The Devil's Dictionary was originally a set of satirical definitions, authored by Ambrose Bierce, which were published in serial format in newspapers in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
 
Witty, erudite, and irreverent, the dictionary was much-immitated and republished many times over.
