Rent increases harm the poor says historical calculator
A letter argues landowners raise rents causing higher prices for sheep cattle and farm goods. It claims tenants pay more and provisions rise, leaving landed gentlemen not gaining but suffering real losses over forty years. The author uses a calculator to illustrate nominal gains masking real losses.
Turbulent Court and Naval News From Europe Amid Harvest Prices
Reports from Paris, Leghorn, and London describe ongoing conferences at the Prince Primate's, negotiations over Greek Church bishops joining the Senate, and military shifts including a possible Marine General appointment for the Duke of Cumberland. Harvest grain prices rise with wheat 38 to 40 florins and rye 20 to 22, while ships depart for San Bonifacio and Sallee. Observations note Jesuit moves in Paraguay, a Jacques Brazil vessel to Lisbon, and tightened excise measures.
