Publick Letters and Naval Preparations Amid European Tensions
In a period summary from April 1728, reports note Jewish recipients sending Bishop London pastoral letters to New England and America to curb blasphemous books. War councils discuss fortifications, ship readiness, and potential Spanish provocations, while Jamaica and Madrid dispatch envoys. Robberies on English roads and coach crimes are reported, alongside Dutch and Russian trade and naval movements.
