The New England Stage Coach Tale and Thoughts
A lengthy miscellany recounts a stage coach voyage from New Hampshire to Connecticut, with a talkative elderly passenger from New Hampshire seeking Deacon Mitchell and discussing her deceased husband. The piece blends memoir, moral reflections, poetry notes, and editorial asides. It includes moral maxims, aphorisms on happiness and books, and verses on memory, youth, and heaven, all in a florid 19th century voice.
