Printer's Devils and a Quill of Witty Notices
A long humorous column recaps printer's devils lore with a 19th century tone. It includes satirical remarks on fashion, etiquette, and social foibles, weaving in anecdotes about weddings, lectures, and local quirks. Notable bits touch on a wedding banner joke, a honeymoon origin aside, and light quips about money and manners.
