Synopsis
The Humors Of Falconbridge: A Collection Of Humorous And Every Day Scenes by Jonathan F. Kelly is a densely packed 19th-century humor miscellany composed of comic sketches, vignettes, and short narratives satirizing urban life, social pretensions, and the foibles of money and manners. Set across American East Coast cities, hotels, boarding houses, newspapers, and frontier scenes, the collection blends farce with social commentary and gentle moralizing. Recurring figures of Irish movers, shopkeepers, editors, sailors, and social climbers populate miscommunication, disguises, and schemes that wobble between vanity and virtue. The book moves from bustling cities to Texas and frontier travel, often contrasting old-world decorum with modern ambition. Across episodes such as The Troubles of a Mover, The Fortune-Hunter’s Life, The Broomstick Marriage, and Appearances Are Deceitful, the pieces probe appearances versus reality, the pliability of status, and the costs of pretension. A framing biographical sketch of Jonathan F. Kelly frames the volume as social reportage rendered with warmth, wit, and a lively appetite for human foibles.
