Describes the 'dis-gusting' sight of the carriage door of George G Leveson-Gower (3rd Duke of Sutherland) being 'torn in peeces [...] by the beestly mob, drored together to welcum General Garibaldi, wich I beleeve he have no reglar Kommishun, honly a specie of gorilla hofiser'—an allusion to Garibaldi's status as a guerrilla soldier (166). | |
