A collage of notes and anecdotes: a physician allegory on Nature vs medicine, a Bill of the Penny Post Office procedures in 1765, and varied verses and sketches. It blends comic, reflective, and literary items with oblique references to society, travel, and charity.
The column parodies Fraser's monthly with a Paris salon scene where Algernon Dauceace argues with his drunken father Lord Crabs over debts. The exchange ends quietly as the old nobleman departs, leaving the son to cope with family scandal and money pressures.
An aging narrator rejects rural scenery for urban strolls in London. He describes evening walks, cigars, and comfort at home, noting his wife's reluctance, his love of city life, and the small pleasures of box coats, geraniums, and the Globe newspaper while inching toward his club.
A fragment discusses reviews in the Globe and United Service Journal with mentions of O. Naval Biography and On Promotion by Purchase. It highlights an 1834 Cook expedition narrative, a Maldiva Islands portrait, and a vivid description of inhabitants provoking lively social interest in Bond Street audiences.
The account describes Maldiva inhabitants with mixed Peralan descent and distinctive dress faces, and homes built of palm and cocoa leaves. It then shifts to Dickensian scenes at Squeers's school, where Nicholas observes Smike, the rough hospitality, and tense family banter over meals and money.
A compact dental monitor titled Hints for the Preservation of the Teeth by Thomas Azera discusses dental care for all ages and highlights interest for those managing children’s teeth. The Debtors Laws with a Word to their Victims from Stockdale is noted as a timely topic the review cannot fully cover this week.
Fine arts notice reviews two etchings by T Sibson published by Ackermann Co. The works show wealth and pride clashing with better hearted feelings. The critic warns against nearing caricature while praising the subject and fidelity to nature.
The public in London Edinburgh and Dublin unite to honor Nelson Scott and Curran with major memorials. Subscriptions in London aim to crown the hero of naval battles with a monument. Edinburgh plans a national edifice for Scott. Dublin supports a lasting tribute to Curran, renowned in Ireland since Swift.
The author attacks the 9 Anne c. 5 property qualification for MPs, arguing the aristocracy enjoys a privileged exemption and that sons of peers belong more to the patrician class than to the commoners. He questions representation, electoral influence, and the mixing of noble and popular power in Parliament. The piece forecasts further discussion next week.
A Sheffield Working Men's Association pamphlet argues for universal suffrage as the path to political rights. It denounces Whig and Tory abuses, cites taxation and the Poor Law, and urges workers to unite, resist through peaceful moral pressure, and join the Mechanics Institution meeting.
Colonel Dupin recalls an 1813 incident at Windsor about Princess Charlotte of Wales vowing not to attend the queen's drawing room or the prince's fete without her mother. Lords Hertfort and Yarmouth fail to sway her, the chancellor Lord Eldon intervenes, and she defends her status, asking if he compares a collier’s granddaughter to the heiress of the British empire.
