Laughing in English a universal tongue of mirth
A Victorian style meditation on laughter describes its musical quality and social echoes. The piece notes a charming woman with a laugh that rivals bells, compares hearty merriment to Leatherstocking and a ship gun, and warns against verbal ugliness while praising pure vowels. It ends with a Cincinnati anecdote about a man dining solo, then returning to boast of the meal.
