Fragments From a Gaudy 19th Century Miscellany
A sprawling collage of curiosities and oddities from 19th century life. It cites debts in Chicago and Cincinnati, German Ohioans, inn attentions, marriages as jobs, and a mix of peculiar facts about mills, income from patients, and prominent figures. It mentions Rev. Dr. Bartol, Mrs. Woodhull, and Barnum, plus a wide array of scattered notes on death, fashion, and industry.
