A fragmentary poem praising a mariner, describing his fearless voyage and stormtossed journey. It portrays the sailor as noble and brave, guided by an unseen angelic spirit, facing dread seas with courage and skill.
Siz Stulz, a German tailor from Lahr, rises to crown fashion in London by outshining Gilson as Brummel’s favorite and innovator. He bribes status with monthly coats and banknotes, drains rivals, and orchestrates a clever pay-before-leaving-Bath scheme that cements his reign and vast fortune.
A Newark or New Orleans style vignette narrates a comic scare over a presumed leg intrusion by a scorpion or lizard, ending with the punchline that the intruder was merely his wife’s stocking. The tale sits amid broader clippings noting Franklin’s death, Mousten’s duel anecdote, and varied 19th century curiosities.
A dramatic lyric in archaic tone celebrates mothers at home while seafaring husbands and sons journey the ocean. The piece conjures night watches, wafting spray, and looming danger as loved ones wait, praying for safe seas and the ships' safe return. It laments longing, honors courage, and seeks divine aid for mariners and their families.
A fragmentary exchange reveals characters named Peggy and Jonathan E in a quirky scene. The speaker laments missing an event while boasting trousery pockets brimming with ginger rad, hinting at a playful, possibly cryptic confrontation. The odd dialogue conveys humor and character tension.
A lecturer on mesmerism and clairvoyance induced a clairvoyant state and sent the subject to Saturn. The traveler described inhabitants as very beautiful, highly intellectual with perfect symmetry, no sin or strife, worshipful of God, no sickness, and living nine or ten handed years before old age ends the system.
A framed tale recalls political heat between Federalists and Democrats over Jefferson. A hallway encounter escalates into a comic misnaming, then shifts to a cautionary moral about speakers marking exceptions in company. A mother’s lesson ends with a humorous misstatement about a minister.
