Funeral and election dispute in 1840s society notices
A long, multipart excerpt details the funeral arrangements for Napoleon, ship schedules, and a heated dispute within the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge over alleged election influence by treasurer William Tooke. Letters among MPs Duncombe, Coates, and others show calls for inquiry, committee minutes, and resolutions distancing the society from electioneering.
