Loyalist Critique and Debates Over Loans and Morals
A scathing Opposition print condemns loyalty as a weapon in political battles. It lampoons supporters of war, mocks the Bank as a begging box, and laments moral decay from indecent prints to fashionable dress. Royal progress, prisoners, theft, and a major forgery case thread through a crowded account of Britain’s public life.

Devil of a Lover at Covent Garden A Clumsy Farce
The Covent Garden theatre presented a musical entertainment titled Devil of a Lover, set in Spain and centered on an old man seeking magic to win his ward’s hand. The plot wanders, laughs are scarce, and the dialogue is dull and insipid. Music by Arwoop shows minor merit, especially the overture, while the Devil performance and Farce by Mr Mourtrey of Cambridge drew disapproval.
