Contents:
In which I begin my memoirs -- In which I go up in the world and am glad to come down again -- In which I travel ... by land and sea -- In which we go to sea -- In which we strike our first and last whale -- In which I join the fishes and rejoin the Prebles -- In which I learn the ways of Gods, natives, and monkeys -- In which I am lost in India -- In which I have another child to play with me -- In which I am rescued and hear Adelina Patti -- In which I sit for my daguerreotype and meet a poet -- In which I go into camphor, reach New York, and become a doll of fashion -- In which I spend a disastrous New Year's and return to New England -- In which I end my hay-days and begin a new profession -- In which I learn much of plantations, post offices, and pin cushions -- In which I return to familiar scenes -- In which I am sold at auction.
