A frayed fragment from a 19th century Virginia Advocate page includes advertising terms, reflections on mortality, notices on a merchant Haven, and scattered anecdotes. It mixes religious reflections, war quotes, and general miscellany with translated excerpts and local society notes.
The text outlines how the Dutch dry sage leaves to resemble tea and trade them with China for tea, while the French pickle young sage leaves. In the United States sage was used as a seasoning for meats such as ducks and cheese, though some practices like marbling cheese have declined. It mentions planting sage among run toads to deter them and notes a general rule about Wheat and rye.
A lengthy reflection contrasts Sir Francis Bacon and Sir Edward Coke, praising Coke as virtuous and principled while denouncing Bacon for courtly failings. It weaves in anecdotes about George Washington, Mount Vernon, and Wyoming Valley, ending with a fragment on the Wyoming massacre and allied events.
