Eads's own views, and contained suggestions as to the kind of boats best fitted for service on the western rivers, and also in regard to the best points on those streams for the erection of land batteries. This paper was submitted to the Navy Department on the 29th of April, 1861, and was referred by the Secretary to Commodore Paulding, who reported in favor of its adoption.
It was made up of short satirical sketches of the "Spectator" type. Irving and J. K. Paulding were the principal contributors, but they had some assistance from William Irving and a few others. In the course of a year twenty numbers were published at irregular intervals, when they suddenly ceased to appear.
At this moment a man came up hurriedly to Mrs. Paulding, and said, with manifest concern, "Have you seen Andy, ma'am? I've been looking all over, but can't find him." "He was here a little while ago," answered the missionary's wife. "We were just speaking of him. I thought you'd taken him home."

The writer saterizes not only Verplanck, but James K. Paulding and Washington Irving, of whose History of New York he speaks disparagingly.
