Fragmentary 18th Century Funeral Customs and Public Works Debates
A garbled historical fragment discusses funeral processions with ordered duties for mourners and attendants, notes about horse and carriages, and a call for disciplined ceremonies.

Good Roads convention addressing vagrants and infrastructure.
