A seditious tone dominates the text as critics accuse the Senate appropriations committee of seeking to purge civil service rules for deputy marshals and internal revenue collectors.

The Isle of Iona features a damaged restoration tale as the Cathedral of Iona, cradle of Scotland’s Christianity, is reroofed and fitted with modern Neo-Gothic fittings.

The piece traces Iona’s sacred history from Saint Columba through medieval kings to its enduring legend as a burial and religious site.
