Military movements and civic statistics across Europe and Britain
A December report notes nine to ten thousand Profians marching from Magdeburgh toward Lunebourg with the Vanguard near Schwedel, while Amsterdam records 8089 burials in 1757, London and The Hague report varied year counts, ships at Texel 1299, and local weddings and christenings. A letter to the author criticizes military leadership and merit in command, arguing foreign officers and experienced generals safeguard republics, followed by commentary on Walpole and public debt policy debates from 1758.
