Augustus Carp, Esq. By Henry Howarth Bashford Being the Autobiography of a Really Good Man Augustus Carp, Esq., By Himself: Being the Autobiography of a Really Good Man is a satire, originally anonymous, first published in the United Kingdom in May 1924 and, later that year, by Houghton Mifflin in the United States.
