ED-IM; E449|        [Chapter 1]
IM-1-prose1;   E449|        In the Moon, is a certain Island near by a mighty continent,
IM-1-prose2;   E449|        which small island seems to have some affinity to England. & what
IM-1-prose3;   E449|        is more extraordinary the people are so much alike & their
IM-1-prose4;   E449|        language so much the same that you would think you was among your
IM-1-prose5;   E449|        friends. in this Island dwells three Philosophers Suction, the
IM-1-prose6;   E449|        Epicurean, Quid the Cynic, & Sipsop, the Pythagorean. I call them
IM-1-prose7;   E449|        by the names of these sects tho the sects are not ever mentiond
IM-1-prose8;   E449|        there as being quite out of date however the things still remain,
IM-1-prose9;   E449|        and the vanities are the same. the three Philosophers sat
IM-1-prose10; E449|        together thinking of nothing. in comes--Etruscan Column the
IM-1-prose11; E449|        Antiquarian & after an abundance of Enquiries to no purpose sat
IM-1-prose12; E449|        himself down & described something that nobody listend to so
IM-1-prose13; E449|        they were employd when Mrs Gimblet came in [tipsy] the
IM-1-prose14; E449|        corners of her mouth seemd I dont know how, but very odd as if
IM-1-prose15; E449|        she hoped you had not an ill opinion of her. to be sure we are
IM-1-prose16; E449|        all poor creatures. well she seated & [listend] seemd
IM-1-prose17; E449|        to listen with great attention while the Antiquarian seemd to be
IM-1-prose18; E449|        talking of virtuous cats, but it was not so. she was thinking of
IM-1-prose19; E449|        the shape of her eyes & mouth & he was thinking, of his eternal
IM-1-prose20; E449|        fame the three Philosophers at this time were each endeavouring
IM-1-prose21; E449|          t1069 to conceal [the] his laughter, (not at them but) at
IM-1-prose22; E449|        his own imaginations this was the situation of this improving
IM-1-prose23; E449|        company, when in a great hurry, Inflammable Gass the Wind finder
IM-1-prose24; E449|        enterd. they seemd to rise & salute each other
IM-1-prose25; E449|        Etruscan Column & Inflammable Gass fixd their eyes on each
IM-1-prose26; E449|        other, their tongues went in question & answer, but their
IM-1-prose27; E449|        thoughts were otherwise employd
IM-1-prose28; E449|        I dont like his eyes said Etruscan Column. he's a foolish puppy
IM-1-prose29; E449|        said Inflammable Gass, smiling on him. the 3 Philosophers
IM-1-prose30; E449|        [Quid] [<the

 
IM-1-prose31; E450|        Elder>   t1070] the Cynic smiling the Epicurean seeming
IM-1-prose32; E450|        [not] studying the flame of the candle & the Pythagorean
IM-1-prose33; E450|        playing with the cat, listend with open mouths to the edifying
IM-1-prose34; E450|        discourses.
IM-1-prose35; E450|        Sir said the Antiquarian I have seen these works & I do affirm
IM-1-prose36; E450|        that they are no such thing. they seem to me to be the most
IM-1-prose37; E450|        wretched paltry flimsy Stuff that ever--What d'ye say What dye
IM-1-prose38; E450|        say said Inflammable Gass, why why I wish I could see you write
IM-1-prose39; E450|        so. Sir said the Antiquarian, according to my opinion the author
IM-1-prose40; E450|        is an errant blockhead.--Your reason Your reason said
IM-1-prose41; E450|        Inflammable Gass--why why I think it very abominable to call a
IM-1-prose42; E450|        man a blockhead that you know nothing of.--Reason Sir said the
IM-1-prose43; E450|        Antiquarian I'll give you an example for your reason As I was
IM-1-prose44; E450|        walking along the street I saw a <vast> number of swallows on the
IM-1-prose45; E450|        [top of an house] rails of an old Gothic square they
IM-1-prose46; E450|        seemd to be going on their passage, as Pliny says as I was
IM-1-prose47; E450|        looking up, a little outre<accent> fellow pulling me by the
IM-1-prose48; E450|        sleeve cries pray Sir who do all they belong to. I turnd my self
IM-1-prose49; E450|        about with great [[An Island in the Moon] P 2] contempt. Said I, Go along you fool.--Fool
IM-1-prose50; E450|        said he who do you call fool I only askd you a civil
IM-1-prose51; E450|        question--[here Etr] I had a great mind to have thrashd
IM-1-prose52; E450|        the fellow only he was bigger than I--here Etruscan column left
IM-1-prose53; E450|        off--Inflammable Gass, recollecting himself Indeed I do not think
IM-1-prose54; E450|        the man was a fool for he seems to me to have been desirous of
IM-1-prose55; E450|        enquiring into the works of nature--Ha Ha Ha said the
IM-1-prose56; E450|        Pythagorean. it was reechod by [the] Inflammable Gass to
IM-1-prose57; E450|        overthrow the argument--Etruscan Column then star[t]ing up &
IM-1-prose58; E450|        clenching both his fists was prepared to give a formal answer to
IM-1-prose59; E450|        the company But Ob[t]use Angle, entering the room having made a
IM-1-prose60; E450|        gentle bow, proceeded to empty his pockets of a vast number of
IM-1-prose61; E450|        papers, turned about & sat down wiped his [head]
IM-1-prose62; E450|        <face> with his pocket handkerchief & shutting his eyes began to
IM-1-prose63; E450|        scratch his head--well gentlemen said he what is the cause of
IM-1-prose64; E450|        strife the Cynic answerd. they are only quarreling about
IM-1-prose65; E450|        Voltaire--Yes said the Epicurean & having a bit of fun with him.
IM-1-prose66; E450|        And said the Pythagorean endeavoring to incorporate their souls
IM-1-prose67; E450|        with their bodies
IM-1-prose68; E450|        Obtuse Angle giving a grin said Voltaire understood nothing
IM-1-prose69; E450|        of the Mathematics and a man must be a fool ifaith not to
IM-1-prose70; E450|        understand the Mathematics
IM-1-prose71; E450|        Inflammable Gass turning round hastily in his chair said
IM-1-prose72; E450|        Mathematics he found out a number of Queries in Philosophy.
IM-1-prose73; E450|        Obtuse Angle shutting his eyes & saying that he always understood
IM-1-prose74; E450|        better when he shut his eyes [It is not of use to make]
IM-1-prose75; E450|        <said> In the first place it is of no use for a man to make
IM-1-prose76; E450|        Queries but to solve them, for a man may be a fool & make Queries
IM-1-prose77; E450|        but a man must have good sound sense to solve them. a query & an
IM-1-prose78; E450|        answer are as different as a strait line & a crooked one.
IM-1-prose79; E450|        secondly I, I, I. aye Secondly, Voltaire's a fool, says the
IM-1-prose80; E450|        Epicurean--.Pooh says the Mathematician scratching his head with
IM-1-prose81; E450|        double violence, it is not worth Quarreling about.--The
IM-1-prose82; E450|        Antiquarian

 
IM-1-prose83; E451|        here got up--& hemming twice to shew the strength of his Lungs,
IM-1-prose84; E451|        said but my Good Sir, Voltaire was immersed in matter, & seems to
IM-1-prose85; E451|        have understood very little but what he saw before his eyes, like
IM-1-prose86; E451|        the Animal upon the Pythagoreans lap always playing with its own
IM-1-prose87; E451|        tail. Ha Ha Ha said Inflammable Gass he was the Glory of
IM-1-prose88; E451|        France--I have got a bottle of air that would spread a Plague.
IM-1-prose89; E451|        here the Antiquarian shruggd up his shoulders & was silent
IM-1-prose90; E451|        [talkd for half an hour] while Inflammable Gass talkd
IM-1-prose91; E451|        for half an hour
IM-1-prose92; E451|        When Steelyard <the lawgiver> coming in stalking--with an act
IM-1-prose93; E451|        of parliament in his hand said that it was a shameful thing that
IM-1-prose94; E451|        acts of parliament should be in a free state, it had so engrossed
IM-1-prose95; E451|        his mind that he did not salute the company
IM-1-prose96; E451|        Mrs Gimblet drew her mouth downwards

IM; E451|        Chap 3d

 
IM-3-prose1;   E451|        In the Moon as Phebus stood over his oriental Gardening O ay
IM-3-prose2;   E451|        come Ill sing you a song said the Cynic. the trumpeter shit in
IM-3-prose3;   E451|        his hat said the Epicurean & clapt it on his head said the Pythagorean
IM-3-prose4;   E451|        Ill begin again said the Cynic
IM-3;   E451|        Little Phebus came strutting in
IM-3;   E451|        With his fat belly & his round chin
IM-3;   E451|        What is it you would please to have
IM-3;   E451|        Ho Ho
IM-3;   E451|        I wont let it go at only so & so
IM-3-prose5;   E451|        Mrs Gimblet lookd as if they meant her. Tilly Lally laught
IM-3-prose6;   E451|        like a Cherry clapper. Aradobo askd who was Phebus Sir. Obtuse
IM-3-prose7;   E451|        Angle answerd, quickly, He was the God of Physic, Painting
IM-3-prose8;   E451|        Perspective Geometry Geography Astronomy, Cookery, Chymistry
IM-3-prose9;   E451|        [Conjunctives] Mechanics, Tactics Pathology Phraseology
IM-3-prose10; E451|        Theolog[y] Mythology Astrology Osteology, Somatology in short
IM-3-prose11; E451|        every art & science adorn'd him as beads round his neck. here
IM-3-prose12; E451|        Aradobo lookd Astonishd & askd if he understood Engraving--Obtuse
IM-3-prose13; E451|        Angle Answerd indeed he did.--Well said the other he was as great
IM-3-prose14; E451|        as Chatterton. Tilly Lally turnd round to Obtuse Angle & askd
IM-3-prose15; E451|        who it was that was as great as Chatterton. Hay, how should I
IM-3-prose16; E451|        know Answerd Obtuse Angle who was It Aradobo. why sir said he
IM-3-prose17; E451|        the Gentleman that the song was about. Ah said

 
IM-3-prose18; E452|        Tilly Lally I did not hear it. what was it Obtuse Angle. Pooh
IM-3-prose19; E452|        said he Nonsense. Mhm said Tilly Lally--it was Phebus said the
IM-3-prose20; E452|        Epicurean Ah that was the Gentleman said Aradobo. Pray Sir
IM-3-prose21; E452|        said Tilly Lally who was Phebus. Obtuse Angle answerd the
IM-3-prose22; E452|        heathens in the old ages usd to have Gods that they worshipd &
IM-3-prose23; E452|        they usd to sacrifice to them you have read about that in the
IM-3-prose24; E452|        bible. Ah said Aradobo I thought I had read of Phebus in the
IM-3-prose25; E452|        Bible.--Aradobo you should always think [of what you st]
IM-3-prose26; E452|        before you speak said Obtuse Angle--Ha Ha Ha he means Pharaoh
IM-3-prose27; E452|        said Tilly Lally--I am ashamd of you making [[An Island in the Moon] P 4] use of the
IM-3-prose28; E452|        names [of] in the Bible said Mrs. Sigtagatist. Ill tell
IM-3-prose29; E452|        you what Mrs Sinagain I dont think theres any harm in it, said
IM-3-prose30; E452|        Tilly Lally--No said Inflammable Gass. I have got a camera
IM-3-prose31; E452|        obscura at home what was it you was talking about. Law said
IM-3-prose32; E452|        Tilly Lally what has that to do with Pharaoh--. Pho nonsense
IM-3-prose33; E452|        hang Pharoh & all his host said the Pythagorean sing away
IM-3-prose34; E452|        Quid--
IM-3-prose35; E452|        Then the Cynic sung

 
IM-3;   E452|        Honour & Genius is all I ask
IM-3;   E452|        And I ask the Gods no more
IM-3;   E452|        No more No more | the three Philosophers
IM-3;   E452|        No more No more | bear Chorus

 
IM-3-prose36; E452|        Here Aradobo suckd his under lip

 
IM; E452|        Chap 4

 
IM-4-prose1;   E452|        Hang names said the Pythagorean whats Pharoh better than Phebus
IM-4-prose2;   E452|        or Phebus than Pharoh. hang them both said the Cynic Dont be
IM-4-prose3;   E452|        prophane said Mrs Sigtagatist. Why said Mrs Nannicantipot I dont
IM-4-prose4;   E452|        think its prophane to say hang Pharoh. ah said Mrs, Sinagain, I'm
IM-4-prose5;   E452|        sure you ought to hold your tongue, for you never say any thing
IM-4-prose6;   E452|        about the scriptures, & you hinder your husband from going to
IM-4-prose7;   E452|        church--Ha Ha said Inflammable Gass what dont you like to go to
IM-4-prose8;   E452|        church. no said Mrs Nannicantipot I think a person may be as good
IM-4-prose9;   E452|        at home. If I had not a place of profit that forces me to go to
IM-4-prose10; E452|        church said Inflammable Gass Id see the parsons all hangd a
IM-4-prose11; E452|        parcel of lying--O said Mrs Sigtagatist if it was not for
IM-4-prose12; E452|        churches & chapels I should not have livd so long--there was I up
IM-4-prose13; E452|        in a Morning at four o clock when I was a Girl. I would run like
IM-4-prose14; E452|        the dickins till I was all in a heat. I would stand till I was
IM-4-prose15; E452|        ready to sink into the earth. ah Mr Huffcap would kick the bottom
IM-4-prose16; E452|        of the Pulpit out, with Passion, would tear off the sleeve of his
IM-4-prose17; E452|        Gown, & set his wig on fire & throw it at the people hed cry &
IM-4-prose18; E452|        stamp & kick & sweat and all for the good of their souls.--Im
IM-4-prose19; E452|        sure he must be a wicked villain said Mrs Nannicantipot a
IM-4-prose20; E452|        passionate wretch. If I was a man Id wait at the bottom of the
IM-4-prose21; E452|        pulpit stairs & knock him down & run away.--You would You
IM-4-prose22; E452|        Ignorant jade I wish I could see you hit

 
IM-4-prose23; E453|        any of the ministers. you deserve to have your ears boxed you
IM-4-prose24; E453|        do.--Im sure this is not religion answers the [[An Island in the Moon] P 5] other--Then
IM-4-prose25; E453|        Mr Inflammable Gass ran & shovd his head into the fire & set his
IM-4-prose26; E453|        [head] hair all in a flame & ran about the room--No No
IM-4-prose27; E453|        he did not I was only making a fool of you

 
IM; E453|        Chap 5

 
IM-5-prose1;   E453|        Obtuse Angle Scopprell Aradobo & Tilly Lally are all met in
IM-5-prose2;   E453|        Obtuse Angles study--
IM-5-prose3;   E453|        Pray said Aradobo is Chatterton a Mathematician. No said
IM-5-prose4;   E453|        Obtuse Angle how <can you> be so foolish as to think he was. Oh
IM-5-prose5;   E453|        I did not think he was I only askd said Aradobo. How could you
IM-5-prose6;   E453|        think he was not, & ask if he was said Obtuse Angle.--<Oh no Sir>
IM-5-prose7;   E453|        I did think he was before you told me but afterwards I thought he
IM-5-prose8;   E453|        was not
IM-5-prose9;   E453|        Obtuse Angle said in the first place you thought he was
IM-5-prose10; E453|        [not] & then afterwards when I said he was not you
IM-5-prose11; E453|        thought he was not. <why I know that>   t1073 --Oh no sir I thought
IM-5-prose12; E453|        that lie was not but I askd t to know whether he was.--How can
IM-5-prose13; E453|        that be said Obtuse Angle how could you ask & think that he was
IM-5-prose14; E453|        not--why said he. It came into my bead that he was not--Why then
IM-5-prose15; E453|        said Obtuse Angle you said that he was. Did I say so Law I did
IM-5-prose16; E453|        not think I said that--Did not he said Obtuse Angle Yes said
IM-5-prose17; E453|        Scopprell. But I meant said Aradobo I I I cant think Law Sir I
IM-5-prose18; E453|        wish youd tell me, how it is
IM-5-prose19; E453|        Then Obtuse Angle put his chin in his hand & said when ever you
IM-5-prose20; E453|        think you must always think for yourself--How Sir said Aradobo,
IM-5-prose21; E453|        whenever I think I must think myself--I think I do--in the first
IM-5-prose22; E453|        place said he with a grin--Poo Poo said Obtuse Angle dont be a
IM-5-prose23; E453|        fool--
IM-5-prose24; E453|        Then Tilly Lally took up a Quadrant & askd. [what is this
IM-5-prose25; E453|        gim crank for]. Is not this a sun dial. Yes said Scopprell
IM-5-prose26; E453|        but its broke--at this moment the three Philosophers enterd and
IM-5-prose27; E453|        lowring darkness hoverd oer th assembly.
IM-5-prose28; E453|        Come said the Epicurean lets have some rum & water & hang the
IM-5-prose29; E453|        mathematics come Aradobo say some thing then Aradobo began In the
IM-5-prose30; E453|        first place I think I think in the first place that Chatterton
IM-5-prose31; E453|        was clever at Fissic Follogy, Pistinology, Aridology, Arography,
IM-5-prose32; E453|        Transmography Phizography, Hogamy HAtomy, & hall that but <in the
IM-5-prose33; E453|        first place> he eat wery little wickly that is he slept very
IM-5-prose34; E453|        little which he brought into a consumsion, & what was that that
IM-5-prose35; E453|        he took [Cha] Fissic or somethink & so died
IM-5-prose36; E453|        So all the people in the book enterd into the room & they could
IM-5-prose37; E453|        not talk any more to the present purpose

IM; E454|        Chap 6

 
IM-6-prose1;   E454|        They all went home & left the Philosophers. then Suction Askd
IM-6-prose2;   E454|        if Pindar was not a better Poet, than Ghiotto was a Painter
IM-6-prose3;   E454|        Plutarch has not the life of Ghiotto said Sipsop no said Quid
IM-6-prose4;   E454|        to be sure he was an Italian. well said Suction that is not any
IM-6-prose5;   E454|        proof. Plutarch was a nasty ignorant puppy said Quid I hate your
IM-6-prose6;   E454|        sneaking rascals. theres Aradobo in [twen[ty]] ten or
IM-6-prose7;   E454|        twelve years will be a far superior genius. Ah, said the
IM-6-prose8;   E454|        Pythagorean Aradobo will make a very clever fellow. why said Quid
IM-6-prose9;   E454|        I think that [a] <any> natural fool would make a clever
IM-6-prose10; E454|        fellow if he was properly brought up--Ah hang your reasoning said
IM-6-prose11; E454|        the Epicurean I hate reasoning I do every thing by my feelings--

 
IM-6-prose12; E454|        Ah said Sipsop, I only wish Jack [Hunter] Tearguts had
IM-6-prose13; E454|        had the cutting of Plutarch he understands anatomy better than
IM-6-prose14; E454|        any of the Ancients hell plunge his knife up to the hilt in a
IM-6-prose15; E454|        single drive and thrust his fist in, and all in the space of a
IM-6-prose16; E454|        Quarter of an hour. he does not mind their crying--tho they cry
IM-6-prose17; E454|        ever so hell Swear at them & keep them down with his fist & tell
IM-6-prose18; E454|        them that hell scrape their bones if they dont lay still & be
IM-6-prose19; E454|        quiet--What the devil should the people in the hospital that have
IM-6-prose20; E454|        it done for nothing, make such a piece of work for
IM-6-prose21; E454|        Hang that said Suction let us have a Song
IM-6-prose22; E454|        Then [Sipsop sang] the Cynic sang

 
IM-6-WhenOld1;   E454|        When old corruption first begun
IM-6-WhenOld2;   E454|        Adornd in yellow vest
IM-6-WhenOld3;   E454|        He committed on flesh a whoredom
IM-6-WhenOld4;   E454|        O what wicked beast

 
IM-6-WhenOld; E454|        2
IM-6-WhenOld5;   E454|        From them a callow babe did spring
IM-6-WhenOld6;   E454|        And old corruption smild
IM-6-WhenOld7;   E454|        To think his race should never end
IM-6-WhenOld8;   E454|        For now he had a child

 
IM-6-WhenOld; E454|        3
IM-6-WhenOld9;   E454|        He calld him Surgery & fed
IM-6-WhenOld10; E454|        The babe with his own milk

IM-8-prose43; E457|        such a liar as Quid thinks he is. [but he is always
IM-8-prose44; E457|        Envying] Poo Poo hold your tongue hold your tongue, said the
IM-8-prose45; E457|        Lawgiver. this quite provokd Miss Gittipin to interrupt her in
IM-8-prose46; E457|        her favourite topic & she proceeded to use every Provoking speech
IM-8-prose47; E457|        that ever she could, & he bore it <more> like a Saint than a
IM-8-prose48; E457|        Lawgiver and with great Solemnity he addressd the company in
IM-8-prose49; E457|        these words
IM-8-prose50; E457|        They call women the weakest vessel but I think they are the

IM-8-prose52; E457|        a little brat no higher than a nettle & she had as much tongue as
IM-8-prose53; E457|        a city clark but a boy would be such a fool not have any thing to
IM-8-prose54; E457|        say and if any body askd him a question he would put his head
IM-8-prose55; E457|        into a hole & hide it. I am sure I take but little pleasure you
IM-8-prose56; E457|        have as much pleasure as I have. there I stand & bear every fools

IM-8-prose58; E457|        noses
IM-8-prose59; E457|        To this Scopprell answerd. I think the Ladies discourses Mr
IM-8-prose60; E457|        Steelyard are some of them more improving than any book. that is
IM-8-prose61; E457|        the way I have got some of my knowledge
IM-8-prose62; E457|        Then said Miss Gittipin, Mr Scopprell do you know the song of
IM-8-prose63; E457|        Phebe and Jellicoe--no Miss said Scopprell--then she repeated
