The OED Maid in an Age of Wonders and Frauds
The piece mocks fossils and antiques housed in Langford and Preflage rooms. It extols Montague-boue Museum as a vast, marvelous repository and lauds Hannah Glass's cookery book while critiquing ancient arts. It notes bumblings in gaming, racing, cockfighting, and concludes with Drury Lane’s modern “humbug’d” theatrics.
