London Notes on Parliament Prorogues and Markets of 1730s
London reports a Thursday meeting of Parliament prorogued to September 8 for sessions to proceed later, with stock prices in the Grand Fleet Bank, India and other commodities, along with notices on insurance, medicines, and cultural events. It lists sales at the Queen of Hungary tavern, the Wells at Richmond singing by Mr John Blunt, and advertisements for tonics, powders, and wares, including a medical treatise and Dispensary arguments. The item also records a missing girl alert, details on various books and shops, and a public notice about flood timing and theater-like entertainment events.
