Pub by Franklin Philp, 1858, 40 pp, tall 4to, cover has gilt-comedy emblem on cloth. Senator and Mrs. William M. Gwin (D-Ca) gave a gala ball to which was invited everybody who was anybody (including President Buchanan) in the city of Washington. One of the guests, John de Havilland, took copious notes and in a matter of days wrote a lengthy poetic description of the costumed notables, including M. le Vicomte de Treilhad, Mrs. John Parker Hale (wife of the abolitionist senator from New Hampshire), Mrs. Jefferson Davis (wife of the future president of the then unimagined Confederacy), Lord Napier (who would be dead in two years), and on and on. In all there are 117 annotations to the grandly written poetic text which first appeared in the Washington Star on April 17. Cover shows wear and age; there is a half-inch tear at the bottom of the spine; the book is shaken, and there is page rippling due to dampening of the lower third of the book at the spine and outer edges. .
