Fragments of Wit and Watered Tales from a London Paper
A cluttered collection of jokes, quotations, and anecdotes from a 19th century miscellany. It features jokes about Latin, Noahs Ark, and an Atlantic skipper, plus brief snippets on seige, law, temperance, and court satire. Names are sparse, but the tone mimics a bustling reader’s page with stray lines and parlor gags.
