Indolence, Bribes, and Oddities in 19th Century Letters
A satirical roundup notes indolence as a subtle underminer of virtue and recalls Charles Fox remarks. It cites a New York bride receiving a key to a grand home, miners at Pike’s Peak discouraged by a silver vein, and a Chicago paper mixing business with information. It mentions a Paris misperception of English public figures, a Dr M Irish quip, a wood lecture about edible animals, and rat pie as a delicacy. It closes with Germans making glass cloth in Guadenfrei.
