A Dublin bookseller announces new publications for 1821 including a view-laden "Picture of Dublin" with maps and views of public buildings, plus a list of political and religious pamphlets and notices for inhabitants. He cautions on pricing and delays and informs the nobility of available copies for inspection.
A draft notice from the Board of Greens Cloth in Dublin Castle calls carriages and handlers to attend a royal procession. It lists route details through Great Britain streets, Capel Street, Parliament Street, and College Green, with specific waits and ceremonial duties lest the party arrives before His Majesty. It requests ladies and gentlemen to carry calling cards for attendance and verification by a page and lord in waiting.
The document outlines Caroline of Brunswick's last will naming Steven Lashington and Thomas Wilde as executors. It details bequests of property and money, naming Mariette Bria, William Austin, and others, and directs legacies to various heirs. The will, dated the seventh day of August, notes requests for portraits and belongings and directs payment of debts and maintenance from estate proceeds.
The long described royal funeral plans shift as ministers confirm a London march from Brandenburgh House to Westminster with guards, soldiers, and a tearful public, while executors clash over procession duties and timing. The scene outside Harwich and on the road to London shows crowds bidding farewell as the body is prepared for sea and land travel.
A chaotic garbled report describes mourners and officials assembling for the late majesty's funeral procession. Names like Lord Chigbertans Ollie and Bow ytreeh appear amid scattered references to committee members, guards, and arrangements at Brandenburg House and along the Thames.
