Riches of Rye and Barley in a London Memorandum
A broad 18th century dispatch reports diverse commodities stored by a lodger near Red Lyon Street in Devonshire, with notes on naval and political moves. It details royal plans in Vienna and Paris, the Orange princes’ Antwerp reception, Portuguese garrisons, and military dispositions around the Rhine, plus accidents, crime, and a wreck near Barry Rocks with passenger drownings and a daring shipboard escape.
