The Crying Evil in Our Taste for Tainted Goods
A fragmented verse critiques adulteration in food and drink, mocking brandy tea woolen fabrics and potatoes. The speaker derides false notes in songs, jokes about bees as eggs, praises Scotch Dickens style brews, and laments political figures. The piece closes with a bleak farewell and bitter satire.
Expert debate on alienism and insanity as science
The piece argues that alienism is not a precise science and that experts like Dr. Seguin can be wrong in insanity cases. It cites Guiteau’s trial, brain dissections, and the variability of mental states, urging caution against confident expert testimony and urging courts to doubt claims of definitive psychological diagnosis.
