Fragmented Miscellany from a Historic Page
A garbled miscellany of jokes, aphorisms, and quips touches on Shakespeare in translation, a schoolmaster and pupil exchange, a wit seeking emetics, home and neighborly likeness, marriage fates, small things, spirits, a pious missionary, a clear stream, leaving tracts, an Egyptian mummy license, and absurd newspaper chatter about trade preserves and spangled syntax.
