Do you by books by the yard, just to think how they will show up on your shelf?

I sometimes do...

THIS is how I find out about The Scriblerus Memoirs?

Not a sign. Assuming you emailed it I might have dumped it in error, your name not being familiar to my inbox and my tendency being to delete that which I don't know or of which I haven't been forewarned. Like everyone else I get a grotesque amount of junk and my smart-ass e-mail system (Mozilla Thunderbird) csn be overly ruthless. That said, I usually check the junk before consigning it to the memory hole. But if that has happened, I can but apologize. However I really don't think I've seen it. Could you face trying again. And should I look out for scriblerus in some shape or form? Maybe try a test mail first. JG

Any chance of getting a look at your paper? I'm at slang@abecedary.net.

That's incredibly kind. Not to mention very pleasing for me. If you're a cant fan and you know the Villon you may know John Farmer's Musa Pedestris, his 1896 collection of canting songs from mid-16C onwards? I've just signed a contract to do something provisionally called a slang miscellany which will be exactly what it sounds and which you may enjoy. And I continue to work on my monster slang dictionary. There are many citations from the 18C (not just Captain Grose), although your mighty namesake seems to have eschewed the lexis (if I'm wrong, please point me in the right direction).

Again, my thanks.
