Mixed Verse and Prose Parodies in 19th Century Sketches
A fragmentary page presents verse on fading affection and beauty, followed by a long Dickensian critique of a Scottish king and a collection of anecdotes. Included are caricatures, humorous courtroom tales, and brief humorous vignettes about judges, literary figures, and gossip, all in a 19th century miscellany tone.
