Dying notices and ship news from a dilapidated 18th century page
A late 18th century column reports deaths including Mr. Degraves of St. James’s and Mr. John Gurney, with notices of a drowned man near Gravesend and a Jamaica West India trade connection. It lists maritime weather damage, a theft case, duties on imports and exports, and upcoming stage performances. Bankrupts and stock prices are noted, along with a course of anatomy and various book advertisements.
