The last reading stopped at:

          “Cursed by God.”

                    (Cyclops U12.1667)

Catherine Meyer sends an illustration for this blog post. She writes:

I made a drawing of “old Vic” and the Alaki of Abeakuta. It is almost a cartoon in its features but still has the character of a freely drawn image. In it, the “great squaw Victoria” presents the “illuminated bible” to the Alaki, who then drinks “a lovingcup of firstshot usquebaugh to the toast Black and White from the skull of his immediate predecessor” (12.1523–28).
