Secretaries post up for sale and trades of offices
A survey of early modern governance notes the sale of royal offices including the Post of King's Secretary, with owners rarely involved in state affairs. It also reports on a Sorbonne library sale, Barbary corsairs' decline aiding Tartans trade, a Paris fire at St Benignus Church, royal pensions, and court appointments in Britain and France.
