It then shifts to notes on black soldier ants and white ants, with observations on their behavior, leadership, cannibalism, navigation, and alarm responses. The piece ends touching on intemperance and a Saturday singing school.

London in the Times of James the First
An excerpted portrait by Busino of early 17th century London portrays Bishopsgate fields used for drills and mock sieges, a noble bridge and shops along the river, and King James efforts to curb urban sprawl while Venice lingers in the ambassador’s view. The piece contrasts city life with reflections on reading as solace and quotes stern social maxims on manners and advertising in trade.
