Lessons from Pierian Spring and a naval tragedy
A moralizing editorial admonishes readers to beware the Pierian spring of false elegance and ambition. It recalls two unfortunate brothers whose fates illustrate the dangers of superficial learning, and notes the suspension of their execution pending further legal review of related defrauds. It also honors Samuel Perreau, a Royal Navy lieutenant killed at Chandernagore, and mentions a young sister who drowned en route to claim a fortune. WEATHERRY
