NotesEmail to RS 2 March 2017
I notice that you list the date of the third satire (The Last Days of Balnibarbi) as uncertain. It was serialised in the Coopers Hill Magazine (the Royal Indian Engineering College magazine). The first three parts appeared in December 1903, February 1904 and March 1904. But at that point they announced the closure of the College and the magazine never seems to have printed the conclusion

Thank you,
Richard
