Charabanc of 1723 London notices and tragic claims
In a dense 1723 London miscellany the death of a Lombard Street journeyman by hanging is noted alongside financial market quotes and a slate of theater offerings. Advertisements promote auctions of Sir Edward Turnour’s goods, a Westminster apothecary shop, and medical and legal book releases, plus a goat stone cure and various merchant notices. The text reports naval crew changes, book removals from the Admiralty, and the Earl of Pembroke’s illness as part of a crowded public notice page.
