Maybe you all know about this already, but I just found an on-line version/transcription of the "1811 Dictinary of the Vulgar Tongue" at:
http://www.harvestfields.netfirms.com/etexts/31/00.htm
That site seems to contain quite a lot of "ebooks and etexts", of various sorts and qualities.

[nq:1]Yes. That is a good one. The dictionary seems a bit inconsistent in its censoring princliples. They have "c t", "p k", "duck f-ck-er" (but not "f k"), but then they have "*** alley".[/nq]
Interestingly, in a trivia sort of way, it has as an entry but uses "***" and "a e" (plus "a-se") in the explanatory sections.

[nq:1]I'm intrigued by the following: HUGOTONTHEONBIQUIFFINARIANS. A society existing in 1748.[/nq]
The printed copy has the same thing. So it's not a scanning error.
[nq:1]Any ideas what it could have been?[/nq]
Means nothing to me.
[nq:1]Should it segmentalized HUGOT-ON-THE-ON-BIQUIFFINARIANS ? (Google gives nothing.)[/nq]
