Satirical Procession Critiques Wilkes Era Politics
A mock procession narrative parodies ministerial supporters marching past the Royal Exchange in a carnival of allegorical figures. It lampoons figures like Judd, Walter Humphries, Harley, and Oliver, recounting subtexts of bribery, party rivalry, and Wilkes opposition with vivid, satirical detail.
Trifling Opposition Over Book Admission At Wapping
In a Wapping neighbourhood dispute a minor opposition by Mr Baforé blocked a book's rest. Cooks and waiters were mobilised until terms were settled with the chamberlain about a guinea two weeks for a room. The Privy Counsellor advised against costly stand, the book was finally accepted, and peace returned amid firm local cheer. TRIMBUSH signs off, noting Harley’s address to Hereford clergy and freeholders.
