A late December Journal item recounts tales of prudent spending, royal intrigue, and virtuous charity. It narrates a spendthrift warned by a philosopher, a treacherous noble spared by a prince, and a conquering emperor’s brutality. It ends with a cardinal’s charity, a widow’s plea, and a corrected royal grant of five hundred crowns for her debt and future dowry.
Odd anecdotes recount a Manila Mandareen and an English sailor near Amoy, a brave Mandareen envoy rewarded after outsmarting enemies, and a tragic courtly tale of jealousy among Spaniards. Also notes on Irish affairs from Dublin, Timurlong’s siege, a Mogul elephant incident, and local civic updates on the Kilkenny hospital, copper smelting ventures, and public improvements.
