This doesn't quite solve the problem, as it is one of the sources that I decided was at least slightly wrong. The "higamus hogamus" verse is by 1963 already commonly linked to "A smell of petroleum prevails throughout" (or "The universe is pervaded by a strong smell of turpentine" as I believe the "Notes in the Night" humor essay (1963 or earlier) had it) and I won't believe Russell's citation from James until somebody can come up with the James quotation from James' own writings. Which is why I was looking for some university-affiliated person who could log on to a William James searchable database and get me edition and page number.
