Naval and civic notices from Bristol to London
A broad 18th century notice collection reports ship actions including a Bristol privateer capturing an 18 gun privateer and detaining it at the Groyne, vessels sailing for the Africa coast, and bonds among Shields masters. It also lists ecclesiastical appointments, deaths, and transportations of criminals, a Birmingham incendiary letter with a reward, varied obituaries, and public remedies and patent medicines with prices and suppliers in London and surrounding towns.
