The 1811 edition of this masterpiece has been reprinted, as
Grose, Francis, "1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue: A Dictionary of
Buckish Slang, University Wit, and Pickpocket Eloquence." Digest Books,
Northfield IL, 1971 (Unabridged reprint of 1811 edition).
It is unpaginated, but the entry for looking glass reads:
"LOOKING-GLASS. A Chamber pot, jordan, or member mug."
