Hi!, I'm a bot posting selections from Francis Grose’s 1785 “Dictionary Of The Vulgar Tongue”, a compilation of slang terms, the coded language of the underclass and the demi-monde.
[18th-century-content warning: possible racism, animal cruelty, homophobia, sexism, slut-shaming. Let me know of any problems.]

Weird Tales vol8 num3, Sept. 1926:
Featured story "THE BIRD OF SPACE" by Everil Worrell, with cover art by E. M. Stevenson.
The central illustration depicts a man and a woman in a dynamic pose against a vibrant yellow gradient background that transitions from pale lemon to deep amber. On the left, a man with dark, slicked-back hair, wearing a tailored dark suit and white shirt, clings vertically to a thick, textured brown tree trunk with heavy, dark striations. He leans inward, looking down with an intense expression. Wrapped in his arms, a woman sweeps horizontally across the frame in a wide arc. She wears a bright red, long-sleeved mid-thigh dress, opaque white stockings, and dark, low-heeled shoes. Her head is tilted back, her dark hair flows wildly, and her arms are spread as if being swept away. The lighting is flat and even, creating a bold, graphic, poster-like quality.
Above the illustration, the title "Weird Tales" appears in large, bold, white serif letters with a thin black outline, accompanied by the subtitle "The Unique Magazine" in elegant white script. The bottom right corner features the date "SEPTEMBER 1926" and the price "25¢" in stark red font. Below the date, a black list of featured authors includes: E. Phillips Oppenheim, Henry S. Whitehead, Edmond Hamilton, Victor Rousseau, Talbert Josselyn, H.P. Lovecraft, Greye La Spina, and Seabury Quinn.
BLUE PIGEONS. Thieves who steal lead off houses and churches. Cant. To fly a blue pigeon; to steal lead off houses or churches.

Artwork for JEFFY IS FIVE by HARLAN ELLISON
The title "JEFFY IS FIVE" is prominently centered at the top in a large, vibrant, red, hand-drawn font. In the upper left, "HARLAN ELLISON reads" appears in a smaller, clean, red, sans-serif font. The cover, illustrated by Don Ivan Punschatz, features a high-contrast, black-and-white illustration with sharp red accents.
The scene depicts a young child leaning over a table, gazing directly at the viewer with large, expressive eyes. The child rests their chin on their left hand while gripping a bright red marker over an open coloring book. Rendered in stark white and grey tones, the child's skin and clothing emphasize texture and fabric folds.
The foreground coloring book contains black-and-white comic panels, one clearly displaying the text "JEFFY IS FIVE." At the book's bottom edge, "UTOPIA" is printed in a bold, blocky font. Scattered on the table are grey markers and a small, dark, indistinct object. To the left, a white candle features a black cartoon picture of Mickey Mouse; a shadowed container is partially visible to the right.
Dramatic, directional lighting creates piercing white highlights on the child's face and the book's edge against a deep, void-like black background. Behind the child, is a grey, curved, old-fashion tube-type radio. The entire composition is encased within a thick, solid red border.
