Prophecy! Or | Bonaparte killed at last by his own troops
1 Item
... A true story | just brought from Paris by a gentleman | who arrived in England only two days ago This story is founded on a dream of Bonaparte | which happened a week since | and has greatly agitated his mind | arising no doubt | from the inward workings of conscience. This dream he communicated to his faithful Mameluke | and some how or other it has transpired - perhaps by the secret intentions of providence | whose ways are inscrutable. The dream is here given in verse. This ballad concerns the proposed invasion of England by Bonaparte and his forces. First line reads: Ye Britons | to your country true. In two columns. 1d. each; 6d. per dozen; or | 3s. 6d. per 100.

A British soldier's family photographed in Carlisle

The name of the photographer whose studio the pictured family visited is written across the bottom right-hand corner of this real photographic postcard: ‘Fred. W. Jassell / Carlisle once in Cumberland’. A British soldier is pictured with his wife and daughter; his uniform bears no discernable distinguishing features that would enable us to determine his regiment or corps. || A real photographic postcard || || A British soldier and his family photographed in Carlisle || Photograph || Front
