Poised Dispatches from 1701 to 1702 on European Affairs
In fragmentary notices from Mantua Hague and London the writer reports political alignments around the Duke of Ormond and the Polish king. Observations cover Papal and Italian sentiment toward the Duke, French troops in Liege lacking pay, proposed Polish troop assignments, and a debate over governance terms. Also noted: gifts from the Polish court to Ormond, Royal interest in math among hospital boys, and refugee Frenchmen seeking service. A note mentions Bowles’s recent Church Government, with printing details.
