War talk and elections spread across Europe in 1741
Reports from April to May 1741 describe military dispatches and troop movements in France, Naples, and Bavaria. Debates on a general Diet at Frankfurt continue amid preparations for war, with several regiments returning from garrisons and a naval vessel Neptune to be prepared for voyage. Amidst these, city elections in London and Westminster progress with poll results and candidate appeals, including Admiral Vernon and Charles Edwin.
