Slander and prophecy mingle in a curious 19th century fragment
A mosaic of moral exhortations on slander, alongside a Friar Bacon prophecy and brief legal-wit snippets. It cites how false rumours harm reputations, notes a mining judge condemning low-quality liquor, and weaves in floral meanings and quirky Victorian adages about economy and social conduct.
Doctor and parson jokes from a curious page
A humorous miscellany recalls a doctor explaining dumbness as the lack of speech, a justice of the peace ribbing a parson on a stately ride, and a bier incident where a CPR-like shock briefly revives a corpse before the obituary finishes.
