Aaron Burr’s Journal: Till The Proboscis Be In Order

[rachelmanija]

This edition was edited and footnoted by William Bixby in 1903. Bixby’s introduction fills in the events preceding Burr's journal (the duel), taking great pains to explain that this was a different time and dueling was acceptable, and also Burr was pretty awesome and everyone with taste thought so

Is this reminding anyone else of The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Age 13 ¾?

Haha, yes, rather! XD

"till the proboscis be in order"! "sleep off the nasaology"! THIS IS AMAZING.

Thank you for sharing!
