Clockmakers in Connecticut and Yankee speculation
The piece rebuts the clockmaking tale by Samuel Slick, detailing how Connecticut dominates clock movements, case production, and pricing. It notes cheap brass and case costs, low wages, and a volatile market with exports to Britain, the West Indies, and China. It also cites a cautionary tale of a man losing farm value investing in movements and a declining postwar demand.

Circassian independence sympathy cited with Polish ties
The article argues sympathy for Circassian independence grows as Polish cause aligns with Circassian resistance to Russia. It recalls the Declaration of Rights, likening it to America’s 1776 assertion, and notes reports of Circassian victories and Polish deserters aiding their cause, delaying Russian pacification.
