A miscellany blends verses in Owen Meredith and Tennyson mode with a long critique of English farming. It surveys 19th century agricultural science, drainage, manures, and tenant farming, tracing the rise of chemical analysis and the works of Lawes and Voelcker in modern soil science.
At Lidlington a rotation based system uses strong clay to support heavy livestock and rich manure. Sheep on a four hundred head Down breeding flock fertilize fields while cattle and horses are fed on swedes mangolds hay and grain. Machinery including ploughs steam engines threshing gear and reapers supports a high output with twenty men and thirty boys employed. The approach yields large profits evidenced by 1856 Down sheep sales at Hitchin averaging £4 6s each.
A vivid Victorian anecdote recalls Brougham delaying his exit from the House of Lords to address a speech defending arguments of foreign policy. He returns inside, delivering a fierce philippic that unsettles Lord Melbourne and draws a crowd. The Times treats the moment as decisive, while the audience in the gallery reads as a tribute to beauty.
An American guest at a Cambridgeshire country party faces a trio of dandies in a game called Crowning the Wiser. He answers with poise, praising Niagara falls and republican equality, then declares American ladies the fairest, drawing enthusiastic applause from the ladies and guests.
