Letters on public welfare and trade blues in eighteenth century letters
A letter from St Katherine's argues public gains from seafaring life saving and mortality, estimating two hundred thousand pounds saved by sending men to sea. A Citizen note laments bribery, corruption, and political critique with epigrams and an Oporto letter discusses English debt collection, trade frictions, Dutch and French competition, and potential prison releases. Reports from Plymouth and Portsmouth cover naval movements, privateers, prisoner conditions, and local accidents, plus stock and local notices.
