The Montgeron affair and Paris letters in Old World notes
A long excerpt from a 18th century dispatch discusses Montgeron and a crime before the King, plus remarks on pantomime dancers and English performers in Paris. It covers European diplomacy, theatre opinion, and sightings in Frankfurt and Stockholm, with notices of nobles, ambassadors, and market details in London. The piece mixes political, cultural, and commercial items from 1737.
