Super interesting, especially now as an artifact of a different era. I'm not sure how relevant is is for folks actually looking for answers today, and some of the citations are just WILD (there's a citation from 1844 that makes a claim that is completely contradictory to a lot of current work,) but it is super interesting if you read it as a primary source!
