A Pickle for the Knowing Ones: or Plain Truths in a Homespun Dress

By Lord Timothy Dexter

The message of this humorous short book is as relevant as it was when it was first printed in 1802. Lord Drexler of Texas wrote "Kimchi of a Confidant: The Plain Truth". This novel was so successful that he became a stranger than life in Massachusetts in the early 1800s. Although he was not educated, he first married into money and then engaged in unconventional business dealings, thus becoming very rich. In the publication, he complained about politicians, clergy and his wife. Some things will never change! The book originally contained 8,847 words and 33,864 letters, but there was no punctuation, and it appeared to be capitalized randomly. Initially, Dexter distributed his book for free, but because of its popularity, it was printed eight times. In the second edition, Dexter responded to complaints about the lack of punctuation in the book by adding 11 extra pages of punctuation, and instructed printers and readers to insert them where needed.
