London Broadside Notices and Purchases for the Household
A dense 18th century collection notes charity work at the City Workhouse with a weekly Thursday sitting to receive qualified children from parishes and to provide wool or flax for spin work. It also covers a pocket book lost near Smithfield, a reward for information, and a sale of paintings and masterworks from Mr Roeftraten’s collection at a Covent Garden dwelling.
