Reading edition
CHAPTER I. The arrival of Lady Booby and the rest at Booby-hall. CHAPTER II. A dialogue between Mr Abraham Adams and the Lady Booby. CHAPTER III. What passed between the lady and lawyer Scout. CHAPTER IV. A short chapter, but very full of matter; particularly the arrival of Mr Booby and his lady. CHAPTER V. Containing justice business; curious precedents of depositions, and other matters necessary to be perused by all justices of the peace and their clerks. CHAPTER VI. Of which you are desired to read no more than you like. CHAPTER VII. Philosophical reflections, the like not to be found in any light French romance. Mr Booby's grave advice to Joseph, and Fanny's encounter with a beau. CHAPTER VIII. A discourse which happened between Mr Adams, Mrs Adams, Joseph, and Fanny, with some behaviour of Mr Adams which will be called by some few readers very low, absurd, and unnatural. CHAPTER IX. A visit which the polite Lady Booby and her polite friend paid to the parson. CHAPTER X. The history of two friends, which may afford an useful lesson to all those persons who happen to take up their residence in married families. CHAPTER XI. In which the history is continued. CHAPTER XII. Where the good-natured reader will see something which will give him no great pleasure. CHAPTER XIII. The history, returning to the Lady Booby, gives some account of the terrible conflict in her breast between love and pride, with what happened on the present discovery. CHAPTER XIV. Containing several curious night-adventures, in which Mr Adams fell into many hair-breadth scapes, partly owing to his goodness, and partly to his inadvertency. CHAPTER XV. The arrival of Gaffar and Gammar Andrews with another person not much expected, and a perfect solution of the difficulties raised by the pedlar. CHAPTER XVI. Being the last. In which this true history is brought to a happy conclusion.
