Storms, naval moves, and a London pamphlet burst in 1734 notices
The page reports preparations of royal field equipages at Hanover for a Rhine campaign if necessary, a fierce downbeat storm in the Downs and a Rotterdam-bound ship wreck off Margate, and Rome’s news of a papal pension to the infant Don Lewis. It notes a suspected pamphlet author’s custody, a noble family death in Argyll, bread prices, and an array of London and Dublin print shop advertisements, sales, and notices to subscribers.
