AbstractHistoryArchive Description

The 'Flaneur' offers comments on three disparate subjects: colonial governments (particularly in India); the Irish in the colony of New South Wales; and the social scandals of Paris.

The 'Flaneur' also writes: 'It is said that a satirical journal is to be started shortly in support of Ministerial interests. It is to be called The Mongoose, and is intended to act as a counterpoise to The Laughing Jackass. The contest between the two will be watched with some interest.' [There is no evidence that a journal titled 'The Mongoose' was ever published.]
