註釋

The articles mainly describe the 'low' theater entertainments like equestrian and strolling troupes, burlesque and Negro minstrelsy. They focus on the circus along the Northeastern seaboard, from Quebec to Philadelphia and include descriptions from the decline of animal menagerie to attacks on circuses in the "Western towns" by disciples of Blue Laws. There are also descriptions of a number of "museums" of the time, including the famous Trowbridge's Museum in Albany, where such oddities as the rope that hung Hamilton could be seen. There are also many descriptions of Negro acting, noting, "Negro minstrelsy has held its own down to the present day, it now being in full feather, and is likely to continue for years to come."
