A puzzling, fractured poem-like text expresses longing and misheard phrases. Dazed lines mix names and places in a stream of altered words, suggesting a personal lament or riddle about absence and yearning. The piece lacks clear narrative structure or conventional cadence.
Ex governor Seymour contrasts coercive laws with moral reform. A Brooklyn audience hears that a perfect law could curb vice yet fail to prevent crime. Anecdotes include Dr Garth at a club and an Irishwoman's door threat. Quotations reflect 19th century concerns over law versus habit.
A rough, satirical introduction mixes personal detail with boasts of fighting weight and readiness to defend editors. The piece blends sketches of behavior at table settings and a comic anti corruption note, with a long anecdote about a Mexican marriage oath and a steamboat insurance trial exchange.
A compilation of aphorisms attributed to Benjamin Franklin and assorted literary curiosities. The piece blends proverbs on money, pride, honesty, travel, and social life with scattered antiquarian observations, historical notes, and snippets about 19th century events and figures.
