Treatise on Architecture and Royal Notices of 18th Century
A long mixed rasher of old book notes and advertisements. It details Perrault’s architectural treatise with English notes and tradesmen’s notices, then shifts to public notices about heirs and property, a missing box finders reward, tooth restoratives, medical quack cures, and horses, all dated in the late 17th or early 18th century London milieu. The items mention Simon Bartlet, J. Senex, and Mr. Ratford, with locations near Chancery Lane, St Paul’s Churchyard, and the Strand, and in-house elixirs promising cures for ruptures, breath, teeth, and the king’s evil.
