Synopsis
Excerpt from Humours of History: 160 Drawings; Reproduced From Originals From the Morning Leader (Now the Daily News and Leader)
Ground; all his events are founded on fact, and all his details are stranger than fiction. The aged may learn from the book of the Humours of History by its help the youngest and cleverest may unleam many of the fallacies he knows so much about. A few grumpy, middle-aged persons have suggested some inaccuracy in trifles; but their wiser elders, and the still wiser children, will perceive an astonishing faithfulness in small things. Alfred would never have been caught burning the cakes, consequently he would never have beaten the Danes and we should have had no Navy. If his landlady had not been endowed with the kind of half-nelson grip depicted in Plate xxlz - the facial expressions of the cat on the hearth and the china ornithorhynchus on the mantelpiece confirm this view.
