A collage of early 20th century clippings discusses tar water praised by a bishop and lingering in English folklore, then shifts to geopolitics on Italy as the newest crust of the earth. It recalls historic England's basket and trading‑frice justices, described by Townsend and Parliament, with a fragmentary closing note on Learned His Leason.
