A scattered column covers Absence of Mind with Mr Jabez J.

It mixes humor with military and cultural anecdotes, dialogues and a note on bailiffs.
A portion of Bithrature reviews a two volume diary of George the Fourth era focusing on court intrigues surrounding Queen Caroline and Princess Charlotte. The author questions authenticity, then offers a stream of extracts on Charlotte’s manners, 1810 1811 reflections, the Regent’s illness, and Morality themes.
In a late night exchange, fears arise over the princess’s figure and rumors of misconduct ripple through court society.
