Engrossing and market speculation in 18th century trade
An Old Englishman laments Engrossing practices in corn milk and lobster markets, cites biblical condemnations, and recalls numerous price manipulations. Reports from Newcastle and Plymouth detail privateers, naval debt relief schemes, officer appointments, marriages, deaths, and local court actions as the era's turmoil and commerce persist.

R n in London Satire on Landed vs Monied Interest
A public letter from Berks recounts a Portsmouth dispatch and a mock debate at a public meeting between Sir Solomon Stately and Sir Lawrence Lovegold. The Reverend Quaint, debating, argues that country squires and London financiers prosper from others’ labor, while magistrates and peasants keep the state orderly. Included are naval movements from Portsmouth and military pay upratings in Germany, plus Lent preaching appointments, public health figures, and market rates.
