Violent Earthquakes and naval notices from August texts
A mosaic of dated dispatches reports earthquakes felt in Schaffhausen and Zurich with minor damage along the coast, Westminster prorogation notices, Venetian diplomacy in Dover, and plans for public readings and royal audiences. Also listed are stock prices, a London oratory talk, and notices of travel by envoys and horses sent to Weymouth for a royal reception, all in a dense late 18th century news fragment.
