A House-Boat on the Styx

"When the Associated Shades, comprising such notables as Dr. Johnson [... several others listed], established a club in a house-boat on the Styx, and installed Charon as janitor, their meetings naturally were occasions of unusual interest; and remarkable sagacity has been displayed in the selection of Mr. Bangs as the medium for the publication, above ground, of their sayings and doings." -- advertisement by the publisher, New-York Tribune 1895-11-27 p8 "Published To-day"
