Price lists and ship news from a crowded Devonshire ledger
A dense 1740s market and port notice list details prices for grocer goods, tobacco, hemp, hides, wool, tallow, and candles, alongside cargo ships and ships’ arrivals sailing from Whitehaven, Workington, Dublin, and Liverpool. The itemized entries name goods, prices per hundred or ton, buyers and sellers, and multiple vessels and routes. Several legal notices announce land sales, turnpike toll proposals, and property auctions in Counties Wexford, Kilkenny, Westmeath, and Meath with dates and contacts.
