Found an online copy. archive.org/details/bim_...
in case you didn’t see @dwuff.bsky.social ^
Absolutely pure internet & historical gold
Favorite subheading: HERE ALL FARTS ARE FREE
My favorite thing is the note “Sometimes attributed to Jonathan Swift.”
This is a scan of the THIRTEENTH EDITION — a testament to the post-Restoration early 18th century being one of the most ribald periods in British history. It’s even funnier if you think about the horrified distaste with which the Victorians would’ve looked on this book 150 years later
Thank goodness "Meditation on a Turd" has been preserved forever.
