Lancashire Fight and Joint Stock Banking Critique
A critical review discusses cautious views on joint stock banks amid allegations of misuse, urging strict audits and publication of accounts. It then shifts to Lancashire sport sketches, a vivid account of a brutal regional fight, and literary notices on works about France, beekeeping, and poetry reflecting Victorian manners and humor.
Sonnets and a lively extract from a Victorian novel
A miscellany entry highlights a tribute sonnet to T A Tidmarsh on Shelley's poetry, plus "A Haunt of Childhood" and a review of Sortyess, a new three volume novel by Saunders and Otley. The piece includes long quotations and satirical scenes, notably a riding prank where Captain Grummit is teased as “going to ride like blazes” by bystanders.
