Turn of Life and Mischief in Mixed Metaphors
A long, rambling miscellany on aging titled The Turn of Life contrasts aging with a river and bridge, warns of gout and apoplexy, and rails at preachers and politeness. It interleaves didactic essays with jokes, quotes, and satirical vignettes on marriage, law, and social morals.
