Memoir on Causes of Submersion and Violent Death
Abstract of a memoir from Paris by M. Janin arguing the drowned, stifled, and hanged may be revived with proper aid. It recounts a nurse’s baby revived after suffocation with heat, breathing support, and nostril tobacco cues, and a young man revived after hanging by similar methods, asserting potential to restore life in such cases.

Debates on 1772 unlawful charges and fishery reform
The House of Commons ordered accounts of 1772 spending and requested bills for Hull quays. It also called for detailed year by year imports and exports of foreign and Irish linens, and raw linen yarn. Reports from Boston and Ferrol noted new trade schemes and naval builds.

Various items followed on mortality registers, horse racing results, thefts, and a suicide in Southwark.
