Curious Column on Discipline and Poetry Echoes
A dense, fragmented column blends mock parliamentary satire with naval discipline, a Puritanic warning on flogging, and poems. It cites Captain Elliot and a Bishop, riffs on royal offices for a Prince of Wales project, includes Punch extracts on laureates, and interweaves verses by Byron and Pope with odd miscellany from Morning papers.
