Deaths and Discoveries Reach Across Cities and Seas
Amid scattered news from Paris London and Dublin reports include a nun found buried in a coffin in a Paris ground long ago and later buried in a parish church. Letters note fortifications survey by Earl Cadogan and preparations by Horace Walpole. Dublin declares halfpence unacceptably issued by William Wood and warns brewers against using them. Deaths in Scotland and Baltic trade notes frame a busy transatlantic week.
