Britannicus argues against taxing births to support illegitimate children and endorses one man one wife marriage as best for population growth. He proposes a half crown tax on bachelors over thirty to fund the Foundling Hospital, noting about 320,000 bachelors could yield forty thousand pounds yearly. Court notes Twelfth Day celebrations, royal gifts, and various military and local government items, plus multiple small notices and obituaries.
