The following article, taken from the Dec. 23-26, 1780  issue of “The London Chronicle” newspaper from England, has considerable detail on the “proper way” for servants to celebrate Christmas, although a bit tongue-in-cheek. Fun reading nonetheless. Enjoy.

• Constitution for the “Philadelphia Dueling Club”…
• For sale: an army, and more…
• Rules for mourning…
• They put it in print… “Liar, Liar”…
• A brief mourning period…
