A Curious Ballad and Dublin Notices of June 1740
A satirical poem on kicking and honor clashed with local notices from Dublin including deaths, market prices, theatre ads, shipping news, and public notices. It records condolences for pipe maker James Allen, upcoming performances of Oedipus, a charity for robberies rewards, price details on bread and wheat, and commercial notices for linen, wines, spaw waters, and property sales. The long blend preserves names like Francis Street and St Nicolas, and items spanning legal warnings, auctions, and local commerce.
