Pedestrian cure for dyspepsia and gloom in old paper
The piece extols walking as a cure for health woes and moral dreariness. It argues that a daily trek, solitude, and close observation of nature restore appetite, sleep, and spirits, urging readers to abandon trips and embrace a westward pedestrian life to find joy and renewal.

Ventriloquist Macmillan and the humble bootmaker
In summer 1847 Macmillan visited Manchester giving ventriloquial lectures. He found John Penny, a tall thin boot and shoemaker, working beside barefoot, motherless children. Penny, proud yet poor, declined advance payment for boots and revealed he once belonged to Rev Trump’s pious chapel congregation, a detail that stirred Macmillan’s sympathy.
