Now to help fill the time between excerpts in this slow month, here are some selections from this month’s Harper’s Magazine. Due to no new printer we are still limited to current events and the all-important fashion news. I also included a series of images of folks celebrating the Fourth of July. The big news is from Kansas, with accounts of the sack of Lawrence and other troubles in that state. The results of the DNC in Cincinnati are also covered. The fellow on the cover is a poet named Joel Barlow. The July issue leads with his poem “The Hasty Pudding” (1793). It was too long for my defective printer to handle so his cover picture is all we get.

This all has a familiar ring to it, except for the denouncement part.
