Verses on Happiness and Notices from Madeira and London
A fragmented 18th century miscellany includes notices on health bills for ships bound to Madeira, a public sermon announcement at St Paul’s, a missing servant warning, a lost bank note reward, and an extensive sales pitch for maps and curios from John Woolley’s shop. It references Madeira port health rules dated December NS, shipping officers, a 33 year old missing apprentice Sam Warwick, a 105 pound bank note, and a broad catalog of ornate maps and luxury goods. The item mixes maritime notices, theatrical and religious events, theft alerts, and commercial advertisements from London.
