Essay Against Repricers and Hawkers in Market Trade
A broad antiquarian notice condemns price manipulation by repricers and middlemen as harmful to trade and the poor. It includes derisive remarks toward a Mr Sewell and public notices about authorship, circulating poems, and claims of payment, with several ad-like items and warnings. The advertisement also mentions a burning glass spectacle by Mons Villette at Whitehall Privy Garden and seeks debts for a Mercer, with various parish notices and a missing person/estate alert.
