Court reports and society notes reach across London and beyond
A sprawling folio recalls court intrigues, stockholder debates, naval movements, and local life. Highlights include subsidies to East India Company directors, a treasury letter on Manilla debt, the Gloucester and Cumberland circles, Marhal appointments, and the City of London’s ongoing public works. Warnings of unrest on rivers Tyne and Wear contrast with weddings, engagements, and ship arrivals at Spithead.
