Ep22 Christmas Special 1740 to 1782 and 1888 to 1890

THE TIME: 1740 to 1782 and 1888 to 1890
This special includes stories from newspaper archives either happening near the Christmas season or featuring a Christmas related story.  As always, the News of the Times Team strive to focus on the everyday person rather than the many royal balls of the season.  

Some of the highlights in this edition of news items between 1740 to 1782 and 1888 to 1890 include :
Various gifts of food to the poor, 
The Love Powder leading to Death,  
Useful Christmas presents for children,  
Likenesses in Corpse Hair for Gifts,  
Illegality of purchasing foreign Handkerchiefs,  
Christmas Suicide of a Youth,
