Remarkable Sept letter on Napoleon and Shakespeare debate
A September 150-word Times correspondent letter to Mr Delano discusses Napoleonic health, the Prussian war, and a quarrel between the Emperor and Prince Napoleon. It links literary musings on Shakespeare to a Wiltshire portrait of William Herbert, then shifts to a report on Mrs Abbott’s muscular feats and the Duke of Newcastle's church reform plans at Workeep.
