An advertisement for the Prince of Wales Opera House production of Heart of Midlothian and John Maddison Morton's Done on Both Sides on1 and 3 September 1868.
An advertisement, probably placed by Samuel Bennett (sole proprietor, printer and publisher of the Empire), for the sale of a single cylinder printing machine. The sale is being offered 'to make room for a new machine daily expected from England'.
'The Peripatetic Philosopher' muses on an advertisement placed in newspapers in Victoria by a Miss Talbot. The lady offers, for 'thirty twopenny stamps', to provide full directions for 'the new and beautiful art of getting up the face and eyes in the most brilliant style'.
The 'Philosopher' praises Miss Talbot's endeavours, quoting John Milton's 'L'Allegro' and Algernon C. Swinburne's 'Hymn to Proserpine' in the process.
