The Brewer and Baker in London Evening Post critique
A reader attacks last Saturday's London Evening Post piece titled The Brewer and Baker, calling it nonsensical. The letter defends free price adjustments for ale and beer, cites malt and hops costs, and references various 18th century events, figures, and maritime items, including John Wilkes and Baron Loudon, amid a broad, opinionated scan of news.

Epigram on a Great Favourite Retirement and Party Power
An extempore epigram depicts a dialogue between S Than and B Laugh as they mock a Great Favourite's retirement. Lucifer and Satan discuss state care and party strength, with scorn for domestic politics and a jab about moving to Wales. The piece blends political satire with archaic spelling and wordplay about Scotland Wales and national allegiance.
