Prolific Prose on Public Stocks and Theater Folly
A London letter to the Autitor critiques a second edition of a political pamphlet and exposes Phantom Propositions on public stocks, arguing misgovernment weakens public credit. It reports court style notices, naval appointments, fires at Deptford, ship movements, and theater gossip centering on Drury Lane satire and a Mayoral-like drama with characters drawn from political life.
