Proposals and Notices From a Turbulent London Era
A dense late 18th century London sheet reports court appointments and clerical livings, naval promotions, marriages, deaths, fires, thefts, and grain prices. It notes the Duke of Cleveland arriving in London, marriages of Capper and Harcourt Matter, and deaths including Rev. Dr. Stukeley and Mrs. Iceland. It details a Stamford flying machine robbery, parish dispensations, and lease sales in Croydon with estate inventories and a sale schedule.
