Amidst the great cartoons by Fougasse of "PUNCH" magazine, you'll learn such fascinating titbits as: "The Englishman who didn't call Baseball Rounders was born on Feb 17, 1862; The Minister of Transport on April 30, 1938 called forr less appallingly dangerous driving on the roads; in 1885, on June 5, H.
