Sobered Catalog of 18th Century Publications and Notices
A late 18th century newspaper fragment advertises John Ailf s defence in the Lords and the Estates inquiry into the South Sea Directors, with paged items on Latinate medical and religious works, printers in London, subscription details, and notices about individuals and cures. Included are volumes on anatomy, theology, and various medical remedies with names of publishers, booksellers, and locations such as Wars wick Lane St. Pauls Church-yard and Lombard-lrece. The piece also notes a man James Smith’s disappearance and offers recovery hopes, plus sales pitches for cures and teetotal remedies at public venues.
