Fools, fires, and fleets haunt London in tumultuous week
Long lettered miscellany reports enforcement proposals and public works in London. It notes the City’s tradition of salutary laws, magistrates, and a plan to save the public about 200,000 pounds. It covers births, deaths, naval movements, court actions, and police matters, with notices of appointments in the royal regiments and local governance. It mentions Prussian events, battles, and storms of news from Europe, including prizes at sea and mutinies.
