What has and has not been done on provisions relief
The piece argues the country faces a melancholy crisis and lists actions taken and not taken to ease high provisions. It cites imports of salted provisions from Wales, removal of rice duties, allowed vermicelli powder imports, and contrasting grain movements with prices and impacts on bread. It questions the regulation of bread and notes reports questioning the 1 George II taxary and a Greenwich Hospital bread contract. The tone pleads for immediate relief and critiques lawmakers and merchants.

Pearl-ash extinguishing fire device abroad
The method by Prof Hoffman uses an engine to pump water and mix pearl-ash powder to suppress fire. Seven or eight pounds of pearl-ash are directed at burning timber while avoiding brickwork. Pearl-ash dissolved in water and sprayed from the engine quickly quenches flames as if dipped in water.
