A fragmented historical column discusses philosophy, parenting, and phrenology with quotes from classical figures and a critique of parental aims. It surveys child talents, urging matching education to innate traits via phrenology, and references voyage sermons, medical salves, and moral lessons within a Victorian style journal.
In 1776 near Portsmouth a fishing schooner named Kay carries two Yankee sailors who plot to seize a British brig. Captain Pewingsill leads a bold boarding under cover of night, capturing the crew and prized livestock to secure a daring rescue and escape from the English ship.
In Portmouth a bold fisherman captain seizes a British brig and sails into Piscataqua with a Yankee flag flying and an English ensign lowered, drawing cheers as the prize anchors offshore at night while the captured officer taunts colonial foes. The scene shows bravado and tension between local sailors and Royal Navy as the port empties to witness the daring arrival.
A long, fragmentary column blends social critiques with humorous sketches. It laments moral pretense, praises simple virtue, and notes London sights, ragged schools, and an evening of charity. It also tells the curious tale of Van Amburg the animal trainer and his control of lions, tigers, and leopards through voice, gaze, and force.
