Fragmented 19th century quips and satirical snippets
A readable collage of quotations and jests on politicians, cities, and culture. Notes poke fun at asylums, napkin kings, dancing feet, Blaine, Jim Jams, Meissonier models, and Chicago. The piece references various publications and the novelty of political campaigns and fashions.
