The stars are in an original scan, so that's how the text is meant to be.There were also two prints of more modern date, one agricultural, one manufactural.
No. 1 was a great show of farming implements at Doncaster.
No. 2 showed how, one day in the history of man and of mutton, a sheep was sheared, her wool washed, teased, carded, etc., and the cloth *’d and *’d and *’d and *’d, and a coat shaped and sewed and buttoned upon a goose, whose preparations for inebriating the performers and spectators of his feat appeared in a prominent part of the picture.
How to vocalize this?? [ANSWERED OK]

The text seems to have either the same or four different words replaced with the star to appease a censor.
Since we don't really know what the author intended, perhaps "blank'd" is appropriate, and if you can make 'blank' sound slightly different than the rest of the sentence, the better.

- reality prompts me to scale down my reading, sorry to say
to PLers: do correct my pronunciation please
could it be "darn'd and darn'd and darn'd and darn'd" but a profanity filter somewhere got upset about it?

That makes sense. The reader thought it might be that kind of thing, too.
Thanks for the thoughts!
