Printing proposals for the Di&ionaire book urged before September
The notice calls subscribers to fund and print a volume titled Di&ionaire Qeconomique or the Family Di&ionary, with bids to be submitted by September 29 and press plans to finish by Lady Day. The ad lists the Undertaker D Midwinter at the Crowns in St Paul’s Churchyard and mentions a vast library sale of Rev Dr Charlet’s collection, including rare books, portraits, and medals. It also includes notices about a theft suspect James Sweffe, quack cures for deafness and kidney stones, and a marriage elopement alert with caution to avoid aiding the runaway wife.
