The Terrific Record; and Chronicle of Remarkable and Interesting Events

The full run of a 16-page weekly compendium of sensational and supposedly true tales. While the most characteristic titles are the lurid: 'Dreadful Sufferings of Three Officers among Savages', 'Horrible Punishment of Russian Pirates', 'Shocking Death of Mr Wombwell by an Elephant', there is plenty of other material, including accounts of foreign customs, travellers' hardships, family troubles, tales from history, and the behaviour of fearful creatures.
