The catalogue record shows that this item exists and describes it; it does not show what the item says. SmellBook verifies a statement from it only through a checked passage, cited by its location, and reproduces none of its text.
CITATION CHECK
Title, creator, publisher and date checked against the catalogue record on 2026-10-05 by an automated check. The Wikisource Index record (Popular Science Monthly, Volume 16, 1880) and the Internet Archive item agree on the periodical, volume and publisher; the article page, dated February 1880, names Walter Nordhoff and spans images 493–504. Date confirmed to the year. SmellBook publishes only the citation, the location of the passage and its own claim, never the work’s text.
In an 1880 Popular Science Monthly article on life in a Hanoverian village, Walter Nordhoff writes that the best room of his lodgings looked onto the stable and barnyard and took in their smell, and that a manure heap lay on the way in from the street.
One visitor's description of a single house in one village, published in 1880; it records what he noticed then, not how stables smell today.EXTERNAL RECORD
