Note 5 — Chapter XXI · “THE NATION NEVER CAN BE ITSELF AGAIN WITHOUT A REFORM.”
Reading edition
E.g., “The Friend of the People,” price threepence, “occasionally” (Chapple, Pall Mall). Of this there were five “occasions.”
“Anti-Cobbett; or, The Weekly Patriotic Register” (from the New Times), which appeared about eight times.
“The Detector; an Occasional Paper” (Hatchard). We cannot “detect” the existence of more than four such papers.
These were all on similar lines: extracts from, and references to, the days of Porcupine, spiced with transparent falsehood.
