Crumbs of Comfort for Country Cousins, Who Can't Come Up to the Exhibitions
Benjamin Bowbell
Genre: | Letter, Spoof |
Subjects: | Exhibitions |
Complains to his cousins about the 'uncomfortable' state of London, notably the overcrowding, the fast and dangerous traffic, and the high price of food. In a postscript, he denies that the International Exhibition is worth visiting, noting that 'beyond some guns, a piping bullfinch, and a few pickles and toys, there is positively nothing in it'. | |
