Rome in ruins and wonders of ancient art
A traveler reflects on Rome's contrasts from its vast churches to ancient ruins. He compares private galleries in Rome with Genoa and Paris, notes the Capitol view of Rome, praises St Peter's Dome, and urges Rome to loan masterpieces to form an international art union while preserving its own heritage. He laments modern versus ancient art and imagines a world exhibition of fine arts.

Borrid Spectacle and Cures in Fragments of a 19th Century Page
Fragments describe a brutal incident with a crippled man in a public space, a police transport to the Mayor’s Office, and a call to punish the liquor seller. The text then shifts to moral maxims, weathered proverbs, warnings against vice, and scattered verse about heaven and kindness. The piece blends crime, advice, and anecdotes in a chaotic collage.
Folklore and Folly from a Famous Writer and Periodical
A garbled 19th century venting piece cites Sir William Blackstone as a printer and mocks fashions and journalism. It notes a Chicago paper’s odd bonnet joke tied to political themes and references editor Greely and associates. The fragment references public notices, lodging houses, and social lingo, with humor about boisterous collars and Bloomer fashion remarks.
