Lottery Schemes Expose Value Disparities and Public Warnings
A long extract contrasts the 1758 and 1760 Lotteries with 50 000 and 80 0065 tickets, detailing prizes, odds, and perceived ticket values. It argues the current price and stock losses mislead buyers, urging Bath officials to caution electors in upcoming parliamentary contests and praising military successes abroad and at home while noting shipping risks and militia actions.
