Lettering

Alas! Poor Bonar... ; L. Raven Hill Lettering continues: Lord Birkenhead (Phrenologist) "We have here a sad case of arrested intellectual development. I find pugnacity low; invective poor; craving for tranquillity excessive; exuberance nil; and where I should expect a bump of locality, or whereabouts, I find a deplorable depression."
