Content and context

[9 Park Place, Hills Court, Exeter.] 'I am so glad there is a good book to read: but it is sure to be in German, and too much trouble for me.' This morning he went 'by stealth' to a Unitarian chapel, where Sir John Bowring gave an address on religious progress beyond Christianity. 'It was rather the old story: account of Confucius and Buddha and the Parsees, and how nice they all were, and what the King of Siam had said to him. . . . What a row there will be when my people find out that I have been there.' Presents a series of humorous aphorisms on women.

(The aphorisms are in French. Marked 'circ. 1870'.)
