Transcriber’s Notes:
The cover of the original book is almost a facsimile of the title page, except that instead of
A SEQUEL TO THE
BUTTERFLY’s BALL and GRASSHOPPER’s FEAST
it has the more explicit
INTENDED AS A SEQUEL TO THE
BUTTERFLY’s BALL and GRASSHOPPER’s FEAST
BY MR. ROSCOE.
Inconsistent hyphenation (nut-shell/nutshell) has been retained.
Transcriber’s notes in text—mostly detailing corrections—are indicated by faint dotted underlining. Scroll the mouse over the word and the note will appear.
