Ten Thousand Wonderful Things: Comprising whatever is marvellous and rare, curious, eccentric and extraordinary in all ages and nations

Description

This compendium of oddities, curiosities, and marvels from across history and geography reads like the 19th-century ancestor of the internet rabbit hole—endlessly digressive, wildly eclectic, and driven by pure delight in strange facts. It captures a moment when 'interesting' was reason enough to collect and share information.
