A fragmented report notes Lords preparing for a March 30 hearing amid unsettled conditions. It mentions Monday proceedings, a tie in ongoing matters, and the potential summoning of individuals for a related case as reported from the scene.
The article reports a late session with motions on extending Crewe's bill to Navy and Ordnance, objections by Fox and others about crown influence, and a lengthy exchange over smuggling, duties, and a pension for Sir Charles Frederick. It covers speeches by Mallarve and Courtenay, and ends with the division on the second reading.
Fragmentary reminiscence recounts a founder of a spelling style, a Rochester resident living in former times, and a drawing by a local artist. It mentions the Rambler series, a chorus of names, and a seaside illustration, with later notes on a medical cordial and a London address for the product.
The passage recounts a quarrel about Pope, Dryden, and Pope's poems with quoted remarks by Mr. Caster and others. It notes reactions to Davies printing Passane Pieces and a debate about literary superiority and loyalty within a literary circle.
An abstruse excerpt reproduces a 17th or 18th century royal patent grant note. It references Frials Drops and a proprietary cure with a pattern of old medical language, listing locations in London and various merchants offering the remedy. The garbled text preserves names, places and archaic terms without clear modern context.
