Letter from Mr Whalley
G H Whalley
Genre: | Letter, Spoof |
Subjects: | Invention, Religion |
This letter is apparently from the staunchly protestant statesman, George H Whalley, who warns readers of a new invention, a 'Rafrânchisseur'. Believes that this glass apparatus for allowing a lady to 'blow perfume [...] over the face of any friend' is 'a Popish device, intended to familiarise people with sprinkling'. |
