Back In Hysterical Days

It was an age of great inventions and discoveries. Gutenberg invented removable type and the Bible. Sir Walter Raleigh is a histerical figure because he invented cigarettes and started smoking. And Sir Francis Drake circumcised the world in a 100 foot clipper. Joan of Ark was burned to a stake and was canonized by Bernard Shaw. Finally the Manga Carta provided that no man should be hung twice for the same offense.
