loco-foco

[Mark Jason Dominus]

I thought you folks might be pleased to learn that chapter XVI of
Charles Dickens' "Martin Chuzzlewit" contains the following passage:

        'Here's also the new York papers!  Here's full particulars of
        the patriotic loco-foco movement yesterday, in which the whigs
        was so chawed up; and the last Alabama gouging case; and the
        interesting Arkansas dooel with Bowie knives; and all the
        Political, Commercial, and Fashionable news.  Here they are!
        Here they are!  Here's the papers, here's the papers!'
