Water Engines Impress Inhabitants and City Plans Mentioned
Reports describe Newsham water engines drawing eager subscription sales as observers note their superiority over common squirting devices. Edinburgh residents plan a South Ward park and mid town canal, while a rebuilt 20 gun ship rates launch at Woolwich and a Guild Hall lottery grants ten thousand pounds. Dublin appeals to the king against Wood's copper halfpence, warning of currency turmoil and public credit risk, with land offerings in Wicklow and Arklow advertised for lease in 1725.
