A London review notes the increasing presence of Italian and German singers at autumn meetings and festivals. English audiences push back, while critics lament denationalization of taste and the decline of Purcell and other English masters.
The text imitates a chaotic early music theory memo listing keys and accidentals in an oblique, noisy fashion. It mentions major and minor keys, flats and sharps, and unclear phrases about musical scales and notation from a 18th or 19th century source.
The death of the renowned musician Johann Strauss is noted, praising his European acclaim and genius in waltz composition. Born in Vienna in 1804, he rose from a bookbinder’s apprenticeship to become a celebrated conductor and innovator whose concerts in Paris London and Vienna electrified audiences. His remains lie beside his late rival Lanner in Vienna, as crowds followed to the burial.
A condensation of diverse London and national items. The British Banner mentions church neglect in Shoreditch and calls for tithes and church rates. police numbers across metropolitan districts total 5018. Other notes cover taxes, prison costs, charity, a temperance hall opening at Rochdale, and various court and social anecdotes including a dramatic tale of a woman known as Jemmy Browne who lived as both sailor and woman. The piece also glances at Oscar events, weather signals in the Bristol Channel, and local obituaries.
A sprawling, ragged compilation of verse jottings and prose fragments from a 19th century almanac. It weaves caricatured wordplay on wind and virtue with social vignettes, tavern anecdotes, magistrate quips, and stray notices. The scattered pieces reference vendors, a cricketer, a squire, churchgoing, a post office superscription, and a boatload of oddities.
Wholesale prices listed for goods including canvas, tin plates, rials and cordage. notes indicate exchange rates with South Australia and colonial terms, discounts for 40 to 90 day drafts, and premiums for bills at various terms.
