Public notices mix of appointments and commerce concerns
The document lists royal appointments including Pulteney and George Churchill as Second Major to a regiment, Francis Godolphin as Lieutenant Governor of the Isles of Scilly, and Zachary Pearse as Dean of Winchester. It then widens to a polemical letter about monopolies, foreign trade and the dangers to merchants and the common man, followed by a long ledger-like column of calamities, ship and stock figures, and the Hawkers license notices with fines and rewards.
