A moonlit night adventure follows a trapper and Bet as they confront a wolf pack near their home camp. Wolves close in, Pill-Driver dispatches a leader, and the survivors face a final mammoth wolf feared by the narrator and Bet. The story blends danger, courage, and survival on a cold late-night trek.
The article surveys King George III’s repeated mad episodes from 1783 to his death in 1830, detailing his mental distress, restraint, and isolation at Windsor and Kew. It highlights Dr Willis’s management, public sorrow, family losses, and the king’s evolving humility, punctuated by moments of lucidity, music, prayer, and lasting loyalty across Britain.
A long extract of Josh Billings style maxims on virtue, humility, learning, and human folly runs into a late 19th century digression about life after death and sensational cases of crime. The piece blends aphorisms with anecdotes on manners, knowledge, and social behavior, ending with grisly prison notes and a murder case in fiction and fact.

It cites sixteenth century cases including St Charles Borromeo Vesalius and Francois de Civille to argue premature interment risk.
The Gentleman's Magazine recounts stories about John Forster, including a Dickens dinner guest quip about five children.
