Reminiscences of 4 BC and Victorian Anecdotes
A lively extract recalls Edward Crispe’s reminiscences of mid-Victorian London. It features anecdotes about Henry Compton of the Haymarket, a grave-clad cleric, and an incident in a provincial hotel involving a bishop and a luncheon invitation. The piece also touches on Lord Justice Coleridge and a courtroom tale about Miss Saurin, with commentary on wit and repartee from judges and notable figures.
