Polite Society and Political Turmoil Across Europe
Notices from The Hague and London recount royal decrees, meditations on the Polish election, and shifts in power as Prussia seeks mediation. Reports note the King of Prussia’s letter to the Emperor, Orange party maneuvers, and preparations for royal assent to bills. Also recorded are deaths, appointments, construction at Somerset House, and changes in mourning customs for Polish royalty.
