The SIEGE of DAMASCUS and other early 18th century notices

Items include a letter from Grub Street to an Oxford priest and a college head, a 2d edition comparison of Bank proposals versus South Sea Company terms, a sermon on liberty and corruption, theatrical notes for The Siege of Damascus, and a preservative against dissenters. Advertisements promote Hungary Water, a remedy for broken winded horses, and various property auctions, ships, and stray notices with specific names and locations.
