Notices from the Downs and London Market News
Reports from August in London and ports note arrivals of ships to the Downs with captains and crews. Passages mention British Admiral Byng reinforcing Messina, Bavarian prince advancing in Munster, and stock prices for bank shares and India goods. Various small ads describe trades, watches, lead, and patent quack medicines, with notices about stage coaches and local shops in London.
