| PREFACE by Ben Harding |
| |
| Sense we got out the last Allmyneck, thar has been so mutch enkurridgment that I hav plucked up
spunk to git out anuther. I have been kruising about, and living on my pention, ever cents i got
out the last one, and hav spent sum part of my time in New York and some in Bostown, and
sum in Fillydelphy. |
| |
| When I goes limping up Broadway and Washington Street or Chessnut Street, fokes dont no as i am a litterrary
karaktur. Prehaps one wreison of that is that the printurs diddent send around the aulmynack
to awl the noosepaypur fokes last year, and so it hasent got about that i am the chap what makes 'em. |
| |
| My late frend Kurnell Krockitt sot a geed deel by his Allmynack, and sed it shood never sink so long as
he had his hed above water; and now he is ded and gone I kalkulate to keep it up out o' respect to his
memory. |
| |
| My helth has ben pritty good for an old man, and thar is sum hopes that I shall wether my seventieth year.
As I spose the publick wood like to no aul about me, as my aulmynake is aul the tork, and as they had
profiles took duwn of aul the grate karakturs, i mean to get an ingraver to picktur me out. |
| |
| I intend to cum out this yeer in rail skreeming style, and has engaged to have it printed so slick
that slush woodent make it no slicker; and then the kalkulations will be made so that if a feller was
blow up in a steambote he cood contive to be blowed into enny direction be thort propper. |
| |
| The way the sigh-for-inn is done up this year
is sumthing for them to grin at what has got know teeth, and cant chew upon the matthewmattocks.
I'll give enny won leef to make me splice the main brace by proxy, who kan find any fault in the sums. |
| |
| So to cut short my yarn, I'll only say if ennybody thinks he kan make a better allmynack, let him try, That's aul. |
