Basketing

[…] such fillings of camphor and cologne bottles; such bagging of cloaks and India-rubbers; such basketings of cake and oranges, which both Mrs. Pell and the captain were convinced could not be obtained after once leaving New York!

They are chippings and basketings of maxims and quotations, and of anecdotes, often classical, put together inductively, or rather by "simple enumeration" of the pros and cons.
