Works about this Work

Notes by Buggins Buggins , 1868 single work prose
— Appears in: The Freeman's Journal , 12 September vol. 19 no. 1327 1868; (p. 10)

Buggins comments on the news that Queen Victoria will bestow Imperial honours on the mayors of towns visited by H. R. H. Prince Alfred, the Duke of Edinburgh, during his visit to the colonies.

Buggins then turns his thoughts to the theatre observing that 'there has been very little this week in the way of amusements'. He does, however, write at some length about the production of Robert P. Whitworth's The Derby Day and notes the performances of John Maddison Morton's Your Life in Danger and the upcoming revival of John Oxenford's East Lynne.
