This came to me in a bound volume of the year's magazines, which, unfortunately, had too much damage to the spine and cover to sell as a whole – It seemed a shame to throw these papers away, particularly as they have some marvellous etchings of early Victorian life. Hence, I have removed them from the volume and am selling them at a low start price.
