Chronological Diary Entries From Early 18th Century London
The diary notes appointments in the customs office and military posts, including Thomas Lechmere as Surveyor General of the Customs for the North Continent replacing Caleb Heathcote, and various promotions such as Viscount Cobham and Sir Charles Hotham. It records deaths of Captain Campbell and Mrs Ingram, a christening at Leicester House for the Prince William Augustus, and the death of Sir Edward Bangham, among other late 1700s era items. It also mentions the execution of three exchange brokers and appointments in the Irish administration as Lord Lieutenant.
