Strange Facts and Local Anecdotes From Far and Near
A collage of curiosities on water, glass, and potables mingles with colonial-era quips. Notes on water’s properties, historic glass decay at Westminster, and tea tannin interactions appear alongside jokes about a plaster image paste in Porto Rico, a Scotland joke about a fool, and a farmer boy’s epitaph for a lamb.
