"Wanderings of the Imagination"

Source: excerpts from a book of the same t.i.tle (2 vols., 1796).

Author: Elizabeth Gooch (1756-after 1804), born Elizabeth Sarah Villa-Real. Best known for _An Appeal to the Public, on the conduct of Mrs. Gooch, the wife of William Gooch, Esq._ 1788.

Notes: Critical Review, February 1796 (a generally unfavorable review), referring to a pa.s.sage in the Fourth Wandering, No. 101:

"One of the licensed abuses which our author animadverts upon--the insolence of servants, to whom it is not immediately convenient for the master or mistress to pay _exorbitant_ wages due to them--might be easily obviated, if those, who call themselves their superiors, would have the discretion to confine their expenses within their incomes. We are aware that this is an unfas.h.i.+onable maxim: but the neglect of it necessarily involves consequences still more serious than those which Mrs. Gooch has stated--the insolence of _vulgar tradesmen_ superadded to that of servants, and ultimate turpitude, disgrace, and ruin."

"The Farrago"

The source is as given in the main text. This seems to be the only piece in the New-York Weekly whose original source is fully credited.

Author: Joseph Dennie 1768-1812.

"The Farrago" was written over the period 1792-1802, generally for The Farmer's Museum. The selections printed in the New-York Weekly originally appeared in the author's own publication, The Tablet.
