From the United States Journal the poem laments Rome as a buried power and seeks a simple grave for the speaker beside a loved partner. The verse contrasts imperial tombs with personal grief and calls for a humble plot away from grandeur. It evokes memory and the fall of empires.
A long recounting of John Fitch born 1743 in Windsor Connecticut and his persistent, often thwarted attempts to build steam navigation. The piece traces his travels, trials, and patents, noting the Perseverance boat, delays, and ultimate lack of sustained support. It laments his obscurity and praises Fitch as a visionary leader of early American industry.
A historical critique portrays Aaron Burr as a self centered schemer whose sexual and financial manipulations damaged many lives. It argues his intellect made him dangerous, his patriotism doubted, and his death as an atheist ending a notorious career. The piece also notes Burr abandoned friends and betrayed hosts, leaving a legacy of ruin and moral caution.
A roving pair of Americans devise a fake creature called Gyastacus to lure crowds in a Penobscot region town. Jonathan the strowman stages the exhibit with a staged roar and a misnamed animal, prompting a chaotic exit as patrons flee in feigned terror. Also covered is a Maryland breach of marriage promise case where Manning seeks damages of 10,000 after alleged flirtations and gifts.
