Cooper did not live there long, for he soon moved to Broadway at Prince Street, into a house that later gave way to Niblo's Garden, and there he completed work on the volumes covering his stay in Europe, under the titles Sketches in Switzerland and Gleanings in Europe.

"After you, however, one would have merely gleanings, for soon you will have captured all the curiosities of the department." "Without vanity, we think so," said Pécuchet.
Their hip bones lifted above their ridged paunches, their backbones, peaked sharp above, their withers were lean and pinched looking.
