Apelles and Envy in Rome Art Debates of the Royal Academy
The article recounts Lucian’s tale of Apelles falsely accused by Antiphilus, then vindicated by a conspirator who exposes the lie and earns a royal reward. It lauds Raphael and critiques contemporary artists, arguing for a public exhibition of old master works to educate critics, while condemning envy as a mark of small minds. It ends with a Rome mosaic anecdote about Dominichino and Pouffin.

London notes on lottery bids and political maneuvers
The London market reports a Thursday meeting at Mr Pitt to settle the English Lottery business with nine banker firms and private gentlemen. Messrs Godschall Johnson and Co offered the most liberal terms for the public, tickets not exceeding 40,000, with a premium of 15s 9d. The government faces debates on Hastings and Bengal, while Royal grants, new peerages, and naval matters fill the week. A plan to auction duties and farm them, with tickets, security, and voting rights, is outlined, including enforcement, accounting, and post office duties within district boundaries. The piece notes anticipated silver coin circulation and Spain's assembly, plus ongoing legal actions and parish reforms.
