Misericordia and Other Late 19th Century Notes
Mrs. Lynn Linton writes Misericordia for the October New Quarterly while abroad in Italy. Publications from Williams and Norgate include Driven to Rome by an ex Anglican clergyman and a trove of forthcoming gift books and new editions from Cassell. The Whitehall Review notes Schliemann offers Trojan antiques to South Kensington, a unique pre historic collection from Hassarlik with rare tomb relics. T. S. Raffles and Archdeacon Denison are cited on Home Rule ideas and a harvest festival with Denison joking about potato planting and urging peas and beans instead.
