Scope and content
Following the question 'What is your opinion of the comparative merits of John Morley & "Charlie" Hammond" [perhaps Charles Frederick Hamond, and referring to them competing for the Newcastle-on-Tyne seat in the 1892 or 1895 general election], lines under the title "Honest John" describe Morley 'A good sound freethinker to judge from his books', while 'Charlie' is 'not half as bad as he looks'; though 'John P. Robinson' says that 'really Jehovah deserves a big G'.
Limerick on the other side about the 'Rev. Sydney Smith, when at Acre' [the 'Rev' is emphasised, perhaps to distinguish Smith from Admiral Sir William Sidney Smith, who fought at the Siege of Acre] meeting Napoleon 'Buonaparte dressed like a fakir'.
