Extraordinary London Evening pamphlet on birds and politics
A fragment from a 1722 London Evening Post letter copy extols birds as orderly travelers and laments wheat exports. It references military obedience of birds, maritime navigation, embargo fears, and debates over provisioning, with attached notes on current political figures, parish clergy, and distress in Barbadoes. The piece intertwines natural marvels with a warning about scarce grain and government policy.

The Poor Man's Prayer to Chatham in Danger Time
A fragmentary poem addresses CHATHAM asking for aid during famine and penury. The speaker laments toil and deprivation, contrasts rural plenty with urban want, pleads for immediate relief, and calls on CHATHAM to shield his family from coercive laws and hunger. The piece invokes national duty and the hope for royal mercy to avert ruin.
