A long extract recounts painters Hayman and Wilson shaping portraits with humor about vanity and Milton, followed by Lord Keeper of the Seals and a Shakespearean aside. It shifts to a detailed eighteenth century guide on curing and drying herrings, describing methods, gear, and seasonal timing for Spanish salt and Dutch pickled herring, including storage, wind protection, and the Solstice spawning period.

Notable Lord Chancellor Harshly Labeled for Private Debauchery
The article recalls a prominent lawyer and judge famed for integrity on the bench but marked by private licentiousness. It recounts episodes from his carriage manners to sharp language, plus a noted anecdote about the Speaker and a bitter joke on the mace. It also mentions Lord Willes, Lord Hardwicke, and Lord N- in the context of promotions and peerages amid scandal. It then shifts to a lengthy treatise on herrings, their taxonomy, fishing methods, and processing practices on the Suffolk and Norfolk coasts.
