+--------------------------------------------------------------+ | TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE | | | | The horoscope tables of the _Allminax_ are decorated with | | miscellaneous symbols, not all of which are available in | | monospaced utf-8 fonts to decorate this version of the text. | | Most symbols have been replaced with "@"; other compatible | | symbols have been chosen at random to give some idea of what | | the pages look like. The original horoscope pages can be seen| | in the HTML version of the _Allminax_. | | | | The wayward spelling and punctuation are special features of | | this text. I have therefore made no attempt to correct | | apparent typos or missing punctuation marks, as at least SOME| | of the errors are intentional. | | | | There are only three exceptions: | | | | 1. the correction of "C" to "G" in line 11 of page 36; | | | | 2. the insertion of the missing number 1 in the list on page | | 38; | | | | 3. the insertion of the missing number 1 in the list on page | | 45. | | | | Italicised text is marked _like this_. Bold text is marked | | =like this=. | | | +--------------------------------------------------------------+ JOSH BILLINGS' OLD FARMER'S ALLMINAX 1870 1879 WITH COMIC ILLUSTRATIONS PERHAPS RAIN [Illustration] PERHAPS NOT NEW YORK G · W · DILLINGHAM CO 1902 COPYRIGHT, 1870, 1871, 1872, 1873, 1874, 1875, 1876, 1877, 1878, 1879, BY G.
