Burlesque poetry and public notices from 17th century Britain
A long OCR fragment lists multiple publications and notices including a burlesque poem by Samuel Butler, a satirical faux religious tract, and an Elitha Smith work. It advertises forthcoming language guides, medical texts, and a Barbados college proposal by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. Also notes about a stray dog, a bad marriage maintenance warning, a lease notice at Bourne, and deserter orders from the Board of Ordnance.
