註釋
Georgina Weldon was born in 1837 and, although almost no one will have heard of her, the only real talent she had was for self-advertisement. She is one of the great undiscovered and unsung eccentrics of the 19th century. Her ego was monstrous and manifested itself in the 6-volume record of her life which she sold through a spiritualistic medium. Later in life, she found her metier - dragging people through courts.
