xiii Note on the Texts Whenever possible, the editors have used the first available printings of the primary humorous works collected in this anthology as copy-texts As many of these works employ dialect, the editors have preserved the eccentricities of spelling , grammar, punctuation, and syntax of the originals since such corruptions often contribute to their humor. In a few instances, blatant typographical errors , probably printers’ miscues, have been silently corrected and omissions emendated. We also added quotation marks in some texts to assure clarity.
