Notorious misreadings spread across cities and lives
The article surveys inflated city populations and misstatements about world urban sizes, noting New York as the largest in the Americas and Paris and Constantinople as examples of exaggeration. It includes a dramatic scene with Mr Randolph and a slave, hints at detective officers aiding Paris police, and ends with miscellaneous anecdotes and a remark about a coal dealer and a customer in a weighing dispute.
