English ?
I found this clipping looking for a place to stash a book of matches - it was in a music box:
Not sure of the source, probably just filler from a book catalog ? (the back is a blurb for a book called: Lost Gardens of England). Now that I think about it, there is a bookseller, Bas Bleu (blue-stocking) that used to send this kind of newsprint type catalog:

But I can't really check, the site won't let me in :( must be the VPN or ??
Answering my own question about the clipping, it was apparently from this book:

Here's an updated page of the terms:
Maybe the newsprint clipping was an earlier version of the book ? Anyway I thought it was funny.
