Notes
Content: "This [embargo] act, like all similar ones, was called a 'terrapin policy;' and illustrative of it was a caricature representing a British vessel in the offing, some men embarking goods in a boat on the shore, and a stout man carrying a barrel of flour towards the boat, impeded by being seized on the seat of his pantaloons by an enormous terrapin, urged on by a man who cries out, 'D_n it, how he nicks 'em.' The victim exclaims, 'Oh! this cursed Ograbme!'--the letters of the last word, transposed, spell embargo."--from source text.
Source note: Harper''s popular cyclopedia of United States history from the aboriginal period to 1876 : containing brief sketches of important events and conspicuous actors. (New York : Harper, 1890) Lossing, Benson John (1813-1891), Author.
