The author notes Portia, from a famed family including Mrs Fitzwilliam and the Kembles, began in London as Shylock’s heroine on February 22, 1783.

Deschapelles, famed one handed whist master and ardent republican, amazed observers by sorting and playing cards with a single hand.

The article describes Sweden’s enormous midieval copper coins, noting irregular slabs of copper as large as a foot square with a four dollar piece weighing about four pounds.
