Terrible Earthquakes Trigger Prayers and Fortifications
From Maestricht and Paris reports describe seven earthquakes and a thunderstorm that damaged crops and property. In Liege fortifications of a Charter House are dismantled and an attempt to blow up a magazine with matches is foiled. Paris notes Iberville’s voyage to the Mississippi and new settlements. Darien fortifications and Huguenot wine growth are mentioned alongside global notes. Perspective shifts to relations, trade, and colonial expansion with various European courts.
