    Reports a 'tragic event in Greenwich Park' where a 'French Anarchist, Martial Bourdin by name, was [...] blown to pieces by a bomb which he was carrying suspiciously near to the great Observatory', and speculates that the 'destruction of so renowned a scientific centre, if it was really intended, can only have been designed as a sensational advertisement of Anarchism' (222).
