A Pickle for the Knowing Ones

by Timothy Dexter

1848 · Philosophy · Humor

A Pickle for the Knowing Ones uses spelling and grammar that are often considered poor, and contains almost no punctuation. Dexter was a rich businessman and an eccentric, known for gaining his wealth through ill-advised but ultimately lucky investments like sending coals to Newcastle at the time of a miners' strike.
