Knemidology may to-day be brought to bear upon female equestrians. If the bloomer costume be introduced, the new science will be as applicable to women as to men; and this is to me a strong argument in favor of the proposed innovations in female attire. But, even supposing the fashions to remain as they are, I hold that I can support my pretensions to reading character in general fully as well as the average phrenologist; and, as neither his science nor mine satisfactorily solve the problems which may arise concerning women, I should venture to suggest that they might...

When the interest of sight-seeing is added to the exhilarating effects...
...natural taste leads him another way, the sooner he rids himself of these disagreeable encumbrances the better. But political science is a matter of practical importance in every-day life. Citizenship is perhaps a burden, but it is a burden that every man must bear. A knowledge of the alphabet is indispensable to an intelligent writer, and an acquaintance with the A B C of government is equally indispensable to every intelligent citizen...
