Historic London notes and court, theatre, and markets
An 18th century London sheet reports on royal and noble affairs from Edinburgh and Deptford, including marquessate election changes, a Midlands marriage, naval appointments, and a funeral. It notes theatre performances in Goodman's Fields, a Turk’s praise for Mr. Fawkegg, and early 18th century stock and bond prices as the South Sea stock fluctuates.
