Ponderous Dublin notices reveal drift from famine to theatre
A mix of oblique notices, civil listings, and theatre solicitations paints Dublin life in 1740. Reports memorialize a respected dealer and victims of injury, discuss bread scarcity amid drought, and advertise fundraisers at Smock Alley with Worfdale and other performers, plus land and property sales across Ireland.
