NOSEOLOGY and the Nose Bite Incident in 18th Century Satire
A fragmentary satirical piece mocks zeal, reform efforts, and editor misfortunes, recounting a Cheltingham Mercury editor who had the top of his nose bitten off by a feral old woman. The mock tale blends courtly romance, staged negotiations, and theatrical quips about vanity, pride, and public affront.
