Plots of oddities and inventions in a Victorian column
A long miscellany covers prison alterations at Geelong for an industrial school, a darner’s thimble request, a plague of ladybirds at Ramsgate, a lobster shell moment, a seven year old girl’s retort, and notes on the Dean of Windsor easing scandal. It also highlights a Prague automaton, Dr Richardson’s painless knife debate, and a profile sketch of Mr Lowe with his London Society portrayal.
