Milton in alabaster and the Milton Hall controversy

A satirical critique of a proposed Milton Hall and Club in Ludgate Hill, condemning the plan to restrict access to Evangelical Dissenters. The piece argues Milton was not sectarian, cites his Arians and nonconformist leanings, and pleads for universal humanist access beyond creeds. It closes favoring Milton’s liberty of conviction over sectarian gatekeeping.

Supplies of food from Spain to the empire press letter

In a letter to the editor the author details Spain’s corn and flour imports into Britain from January to June, noting Santander as the main port. He argues for rail and steamboat improvements to speed transit, urges mutual aid with Spain, and touts cheap food as a strategic benefit over war or tax increases. The piece cites import volumes from Santander to Liverpool and Bristol, highlighting two thirds of arrivals from that port and potential gains from railway progress.
