Shallow, vague, accusatory; the weekly "Reynolds's Newspaper" ran
a series of brief exposés 125 years ago. The inflammatory, reactionary
claim was that many social ills could be traced to foreign deviants.
With no byline and scant attribution, these punchy, provocative
pieces usually made it to the front page of the newspaper. They
are classic examples of Victorian yellow journalism.
