Note * — MISCELLANEOUS
Reading edition
Under another title, these paragraphs may be found in a foolish book called The Fiend’s Delight, published in London in 1872 by John Camden Hotten. They had appeared in the San Francisco Newsletter two or three years before—an illuminating contribution to a current medical discussion of an uncommonly high death-rate in certain mining towns. Their pedigree is given here by way of assisting that original humorist, Mr. Charles B. Lewis, in any further explanations that he may make as to how and when he was inspired by Heaven to write his famous Arizona Kicker.
