Transcriber's Notes:
In the text version, footnotes have been moved to the end of each chapter with the exception of a note in the summary table. In the html version, footnotes have been moved to the end of the text.
Illustrations have been moved to paragragh breaks in a direction which brings them closer to their descriptions. In the html version this has left blank pages where page numbers are omitted.
Obvious typos and punctuation errors have been corrected, but In as many cases as possible the original spelling is retained. It usually adds to the general hilarity.
There are many instances of double choices for hyphenations. Some same words are hyphenated and some aren't. These have been left as printed.
The names 'Billingsgatura', 'Billingsgatina' and 'Billingsgata' all seem to refer to the same print, left as printed.
p.vii. 'An Essay on the Art of Ingeinously Tormenting'. Ingeinously changed to Ingeniously.
