Anon

Subjects:

    Makes some suggestions for the forthcoming Lord Mayor's Show, many of which play on the astronomical connotations of name of the new mayor, Francis G Moon. For example, suggests that the 'streets should be converted into a novel kind of milky way', and that the 'Remembrancer shall carry a large stick of Lunar Caustic' rather than a mace.
