Amicus Vasingtonii Irving factus est, quocum proposuit propositum litterarum: "uno die, lascivo animo, notionem periodiculi solum stupori nostro excogitavimus, stuporique oppidi, quia neuter ulterius studium anticipavit."Anglice: "one day in a frolicsome mood, we broached the idea of a little periodical merely for our own amusement, and that of the town, for neither of us anticipated any further circulation."Jones 2008: 57. Exitus fuit Salmagundi, "fugax periodicum satiricum, ex quo vocabulum Gotham nomen primum Urbi Novo Eboraco ascriptum est."Anglice: "a short-lived satirical periodical, from which the word 'Gotham' was first ascribed as a name for New York City."Burrows et Wallace 1999: 417.
