An Essay On The Art Of Ingeniously Tormenting: With Proper Rules For The Exercise Of That Amusing Study is a satirical guidebook written by Jane Collier and originally published in 1753. The book provides a tongue-in-cheek manual for the art of tormenting others, offering advice on how to manipulate and annoy people for one's own amusement. The book is divided into chapters that cover different tactics for tormenting, such as how to criticize someone's appearance or behavior, how to feign interest in their problems, and how to make them feel inferior. The book also includes anecdotes and examples of successful tormenting. Collier's writing is witty and humorous, and the book is considered a classic of English satire. This edition, published in 1804, includes additional notes and commentary by the editor.Humbly Addressed, Part 1, To The Master, Husband, Etc.; Part 2., To The Wife, Friend, Etc.; With Some General Instructions For Plaguing All Your Acquaintance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
