A long, garbled piece blends reflections on Boston, Harvard life, and European customs with scattered anecdotes about drinking, smoking, and social life. It weaves in mentions of Harvard and Havant like Cambrij, Mackay, Burns’ taverns, and various European breweries, ending with a collage of travelogue and literary commentary.
A Chicago and New York era discussion outlines pistol laws from loose permits to licenses, noting a rise to 2.14 and a decline in permits though pistols remain plentiful. It identifies buyer profiles, including merchants, collectors, and hoodlums, and highlights cheap metal revolvers favored by Chinese laundrymen and minors. It contrasts public safety concerns with illegal gun sales and weapon use in crime.
