A fragmented account shows county supporters debating who should represent the county. The text questions Mr Cornwall and Sir Jets Storgan’s recommendations and mentions Mr Drum and other names, implying influence and possible shifts in candidate support.
The 1725 testament of Edward Ward, deceased, dictates a simple, public deathbed verse. It asks for no funeral pomp, leaves debts to be paid, and grants any residue to wife and children. Executrix named as wife. Dated June 1725 with notes on parish disputes and forthcoming items.
London reports a large noble gathering at Somerset House to honor the electoral Prince of Biunfwe with East Indian jewels valued at £100,000. The issue includes warnings on Sweden France naval moves, Poland’s interregnum talks, and a call for public-spirited action. A fire near Hyde Park consumed two houses, a violent wind damaged ships and chimneys, and local trade and arrivals are listed with ships Boreas and others in the river.
A garbled dialogue sketches betting odds on deaths and outcomes, mock politics, and a quasi theatrical monologue. It touches on public figures and parliamentary subjects, noting exile, perjury, and a chorus of Humbug. The piece riffs on coalition schemes and a lampooned political episode with theatrical asides.
A long, fragmentary letter describes a cock pheasant and other game birds from Mr Weshart’s collection. It references red dun beaks, bred lineage to Sir Thomas’s Sounglesy, Derby Mure, and Shake bag of Sir Owen’s Aprics, with notes on plumage, lineage, and display. The writer promises a fuller description in a succeeding paper.
