Renewal of Anti Corn Law Agitation and Turner Critique
A lengthy review defends Turner's landscape mastery while sparing no critique of Gaspar Poussin Salvator Rosa and Claude.

The writer urges drastic revisions by the new dean to restore reverence, condemning Sir George Sarre and the memorials to Edmond Spencer. The piece faulted the abbey’s current display as anti religious and seeks more humility before visitors.
