A correspondent Julius is reported dead this morning at a Smyrna coffee-house. The writer notes his political death and accuses him of having forfeited his character and veracity, reflecting on his life and demise.
A tongued miscellany from 1762 reports on legal appointments and promotions, aristo intrigues, and a theatre review. It mentions John Running advancing in law, Lord Camden offered the Seals, Edmund Burke named New York agent, and details the Covent Garden and Drury Lane performances including Cyrus and a Garter installation pageant with King Edward the Black Prince.
A fragmentary verse expresses homage to beauty and youth while lamenting change. The speaker notes a prior trick but asserts merit, claiming justice trumps anger and asks for a pleasant surprise from a beloved recipient.
The fragment discusses Mrs Cadwallader and the others as distinct characters, noting the lead is an epic exaggeration while remaining characters lack similar distinguishing recognition. It implies minimal effort needed for portraying the rest.
A letter dated October 26, 1771, laments endless folly in Jubilees and Masques, accuses theatre managers of pilfering ideas, and calls for public judgment. The writer declares hope for discerning readers and promises continued fidelity as a reader of the arts.
