Fragments on franking letters and colonial policy
Letters discuss changing the franking system and its impact on correspondence, urging readers to consider postage costs and transparency. The writer laments potential limits on communication and argues for practical use of freed prisoners and debtors, proposing emigration to settlements to benefit the country. Timon of Athens and a Bath reader sign off conditions and opinions.
Scotch wager on London to Edinburgh ride in twelve hours
In the London Everine Post a Scottish man bets a thousand guineas that he can ride from London to Edinburgh in twelve hours. It notes the feat as extraordinary, given the era’s favor toward Scots, and comments on the rarity of such bold plans by a Scot seeking the North.
