The Panoply of Perilous Knowledge at Royal Exhibition
A garbled and satirical blend of mock scientific talk, performances, and costumes dominates this fragmentary scene. It parades figures from theatre and society, including Mrs Mason of York and Doctor Panglossian scholars, amid a chaotic procession of costumes and exotic personae, with a sprawling aside about medical and political manifestos. The excerpt also mentions a grand mansion House gathering, crowds, and a later interlude on crime and court matters.
