HISTORICAL SOURCE

The catalogue record shows that this item exists and describes it; it does not show what the item says. SmellBook verifies a statement from it only through a checked passage, cited by its location, and reproduces none of its text.

CITATION CHECK

Title, creator, publisher and date checked against the catalogue record on 2026-10-05 by an automated check. The Wikisource Index record (Once a Week, 1st Series, Volume VIII, Bradbury & Evans, 1863) and the Internet Archive item agree on the periodical and volume; the article page names Andrew Wynter and spans images 559–561, and the page header dates the issue 9 May 1863. Date confirmed to the day. SmellBook publishes only the citation, the location of the passage and its own claim, never the work’s text.
