Charles Kingsley's Lost Ballad and Debates on Resumption
A fragment from Contemporary Review discusses a Kingsley ballad with the refrain Barun Barun, proposing a reading of its lurid tale of Vindictive and a cruel husband. The piece shifts to telegraphic coverage of Gen Ewing's House speech against the 1875 resumption act, arguing it depresses currency, harms workers, and transfers wealth to financiers, with broader political reactions and related notices.
