Worldly schemes for land and vines and a public notice
A letter warns of acquiring vast lands and using many skilled workers from across Europe and Africa to plant vines in America, urging lavish premiums and government support for a major, long term project. It criticizes short measures and reveals concerns over mourning attire and official orders. The piece references the Patriotic Society of Arts and prints inquiries about proper observance after a royal death.
