Anon

    Responding to news that King FrederickWilliam IV of Prussia 'will be found eventually to evince a disposition for drawing the sword', claims that not being a 'table-turner' or an 'electro-biologist' Punch cannot prophesy what the king will do, except show 'a disposition for drawing the cork'.
