Actually, the Vulgar Tongue and Advice to Officers are in the bib. Bob, you may like to look at the publishing details and see how they compare to your own. Jason has a different edition of the Advice to Officers than mine.

I noticed that the one in the bibliography is the reproduction put out by my friend Loren Lillis. I have two originals. One is a sixth edition identical to Loren's reprint, the other is an earlier version (probably a second edition, although not stated. The title page of this edition states "A NEW IMPRESSION, with considerable Additions."
LONDON:
Printed by W. Richardson, for G. Kearsly, in Fleet-street.
MDCCLXXXIII.
(Price Two Shillings)
This edition does not contain all the sections of the sixth edition, and some of the same sections are written a little differently.
I have a Loyalist newspaper from 1783, which contains an ad for the book and compares it to Swift's "Directions to Servants" for wit.
