Nevertheless, “Swann in Love” isn’t quite as excisable as it might seem.

Had he included those two tracks, and excised, say, the eminently excisable “Motorpsycho Nightmare, the one song Dylan has publically regretted recording, the execrable revenge fantasy “Ballad in Plain D,” a good album, could have been a great one.

Even the officers and men of the Customs and the Excise were often found to be in league with notorious smugglers, and the early inadequacy of the Revenue sloops and cutters to prevent the clandestine landing of excisable goods is to be traced, in part, to bribes judiciously expended.

At the former of those periods the lower classes of the people were able to consume excisable commodities; in the latter they lived for the most part on the immediate produce of the soil.

I see but little in what you have left in these copies to excise on grounds of discretion, unless it be many of those reports of the state of public affairs and allusions to public personages which are primarily excisable by reason of obscurity, failure to appeal to reader's interest, &c.
