Most of the online DDs contain the original published Devil's Dictionary. There's an <I>Enlarged Devil's Dictionary</I> which includes the original but to which a Bierce scholar named Earnest Jerome Hopkins added another 1200 or so words which Bierce had defined for the newspaper that hadn't been included in the collection. I use that version because, honestly, if I didn't I'd be half done already.Doug The Unahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04753071669562594194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11152564.post-1161311812916796702006-10-19T19:36:00.000-07:002006-10-19T19:36:00.000-07:00Where'd you get "forgiveness", Doug?
