Relative press taxes and reforms across Britain and America
In a letter to the editor, the author argues that taxation on knowledge harms information diffusion. Almanacks and religious, agricultural, and secular calendars sell widely in the United States, supporting education and advertising. He compares British and American post offices, criticizing England’s secrecy and taxes while praising American efficiency and commissions. He urges repeal of knowledge taxes and calls for parliamentary action to expand intelligence access, citing figures, reforms, and political rhetoric.

Infant Bacchus at Adrian Vander Werf Gallery
The National Standard lauds Vander Werff’s Infant Bacchus in a favored gallery room. The painting shows the drunken god balanced on a white goat as attendants prop him upright, with satyrs and a Bacchic altar nearby. The reviewer praises its lifelike pose, skin tones, and intoxicated whimsy.

Burglary at Cooper House on Barton Crescent
Between five and six Sunday morning villains broke into Mr Cooper’s dwelling at No 22 Maddledox Place Barton Crescent.
