Words as weapons of thought and the power of speech
From the tribute to oratory and writing, a meditation on how carefully chosen words convey thought and character. The essay cites Webster, Calhoun, and Websterian vigor, arguing that exact words reflect inner force and shape public action, much like cannon in battle.

Fragmented reminiscences on love and poetry in a deranged prose sketch
A fragmented narrative mixes romantic venting with literary critique. It cites Punch and Johnson and mocks punsters while recounting a clumsy duel of words and a courtroom folly. It weaves anecdotes of social life, military cadet routine, and moral comment on newspapers.
Prose versus poetry debated by a Boston Poet
The article recounts a dialogue with Mr Nonstud about whether poets must write verse or can use prose. It notes his insistence that poetry is natural, while others urge prose, and includes a humorous exchange about rhymes and syntax. It ends with a digressive description of Locomotive Elihu Birrit and the imagined power of a great engine.
