A letter to the Printer of the London Evening Post from Mechanicus seeks readership in the season of religious duties. It recommends Archbishop Tillotson, Bishop Moore, Archbishop Sharp sermons, and related works for those afflicted with religious melancholy, hoping to ease despair and enable joy at the approaching Christian festival.
The fragment describes fear of depopulation in Bute and shifting fashions to Hayes and Conduit Hill as gentry seek healthier air. It reports a nobleman’s warning to a minister, cabinet reshuffle rumors, a large Spanish troop rumor on Portugal borders, and various petty crimes, arrests, and court notices. It quotes port towns, warships, finances, and theater listings.
The publisher thanks readers for support and pledges no expense spared to keep the London Evening Post useful and entertaining. Advertisements and letters from the West End may be left with Mr. Almon, stationer, opposite Burlington House, Piccadilly, for convenience.
