Curious Fragments From a Dated Column
A mosaic of antiquated lore and oddities traverses diverse topics. snippets mention Ottoman pipes, an emperor, sauerkraut, curious fashion, a salt mountain in San Domingo, and a London lord mayor figure. It travels through bird proverbs, El Mahdi, to early biographies of Lincoln and Harbors, with notes on eel technology, engraving materials, and a strange list of vignettes from print history.
