Port Ramours and a Curious Mathematical Instrument
Rumors from the Porte warn of potential revolution as papers found in mosques hint at intrigue and taxes. News from Dijon and Paris describe tax arrets and royal resistance, while London reports a portable instrument showing meridian, latitude, and longitude for sea and land use. Also noted are a deadly lightning strike in Campo Mayor, Portugal, surgical aid in Lisbon, Indian Bonds meeting at the Fleece Tavern, and Royal movements to Richmond before the king's birthday.
