The delicate jester; or Wit and Humour divested of Ribaldry. Containing Great Variety of entertaining tales, allegories, anecdotes, and repartees Of Persons remarkable for Wit and Understanding, intermixed with poems, songs, epigrams, and epitaphs; Most of the materials entirely new. The whole put together with such particular Care as not to offend the Ears of Chastity, or infringe on the Rules of Morality, Decency and good Manners, yet at the same Time lose nothing of their Force and Brilliancy; which indisputably renders this the only Book of the kind yet published, worthy the Sanction of sober Families, who cannot be too watchful over the private Amusements of their Children.
