The Guardian (Truro, NS), October ?, 1882
Details of Wilde’s lecture in the small town of Truro, NS are scarce, as it was not widely reported at the time, and archival records have either not survived or have not been digitized.
Verification comes from The Guardian, October, 1882 (unseen) as noted by Kevin O’Brien in Oscar Wilde in Canada: An Apostle for the Arts, 1982, p. 129.
