Poetry fragment on labor and freedom in a world of plenty
A fragmented verse piece questions why large crowds suffer and labor goes unrewarded while wealth and abundance exist. It imagines a world where all may live freely without trampling others, condemning coercion and seeking a just, inclusive order with space for every worker.

Frasers Death and Murphy the Rifleman at Saratoga Battle
A fragmented historical piece recounts the death of General Fraser at the Saratoga fight where Burgoyne surrendered, crediting rifleman Timothy Murphy with the shot. It also portrays Murphy’s later life, marriage to Margaret Dreech, and his ties to New York politics and early state figures amid a cascade of quotations from contemporary papers.

Dr Abernethy and the two causes of disease Fretting and Stuffing
A long extract appears to recount Dr Abernethy’s simple medical philosophy that diseases spring from fretting or stuffing. It notes his blunt manner and his harsh rebuke to a glutton and drunkard, while expanding on practical advice to avoid overindulgence, temperance, cheerfulness, and prudent forecasting to prevent distress. The piece then shifts through a collage of literary and social notes about Parisian figures, a Belgian gunsmith, and a comic or dramatic tale of a regiment with a householder and a goose, closing with assorted quotes and reflections on life, judgment, and virtue.
