9798668390847: A Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue - Compiled Edition

Synopsis

This new version of the classic dictionary, first published in 1785, compiles every entry from all editions of the book published between 1785 and 1823. This includes the entries from the 1st Edition that were removed from the 2nd and 3rd Editions, the entirety of the 2nd/3rd Editions, additional entries from the Lexicon Balatronicum, and the sizeable contribution made by Pierce Egan in his expanded 1823 Edition. There are also over 150 Publisher's Notes that further clarify certain entries for the modern reader and an extensive glossary of terms.

This work is not a cheap scan or the result of copying and pasting; It contains no missing pages, areas of blurred or missing text, photocopier's fingers, coffee stains, or other scanning artifacts. It has all of the original text, painstakingly compiled, retyped and reformatted in an easy to read format.

Note that this work contains terms and language in common use in the 19th century that some people may find offensive.
