Publick Spiritedness at a Tav ern and Naval News
A Tuesday tavern gathering at St James's includes a vote against a French club member presiding, amid a broader report of court and political shifts in Britain. Notices note the Earl of Essex as Captain of the Yeomen of the Guard, the Duke of Manchester's death and replacements, and the laying of the Mansion House cornerstone. Also reported are marriages, deaths, appointments, and international letters from 1739 detailing diplomacy, naval concerns, and the Charter School movements in Ireland.
