Enigma for the Ladies by R Purman Leeds
A fragment from a periodical piece presents a light verse quarrel about perceptions of women and a flirtatious dialogue with a master. It references social proprieties, playful contradiction, and a request to publish remonstrances from Paris Parliament regarding Duke Fitz-James at Toulouse.

Foreign interests loom in deep Atlantic trade and Florida plans
Late East India Company dealings draw Dutch attention as dispatches to Holland emerge. Lord Clive’s India ventures spark fears of hidden schemes. France and Spain are briefed on North American possessions while a Florida silk venture is eyed. Indian tribes seek British protection, Newfoundland fishery expands with French aid, and price shocks loom from bread shortages. Reports from Ireland, Scotland, and Sweden mention shipbuilding, markets, and demographic oddities.
