Fragmentary OCR notes describe army detachments and orders involving Brittany and Normandy, with references to the regiment of grenadiers and coastal posts. Mentions of East India ships and government troops aboard for various settlements.
A historical New England dispatch reports the Lieutenant-Governor and the General Court of Assembly debating the governor's power to pass laws. The House of Representatives insists on the Governor, Council, and House jointly enacting laws. The episode includes multiple interboard messages, eventual prorogation to January next, and notes on a storm and naval matters, with numerous prize and ship details interspersed.
A damaged report describes ships failing to press eastward as a north-northwest wind drives vessels like the Calcutta Romney Tartars Cerberus Ann Birdh and others back toward land near Deal and the River. Several craft arrive, are delayed, or jailed while the Prince of Wales and Lisbon routes face rough conditions. The wind shifts to southwest and blows hard, complicating outward and return passages.
Fragments describe a Lambeth Ironmonger listing new razors with locks and keys, brushes, soap, and portable shaving apparatus for travel. Mentioned is a shop in Castles Street opposite Green Street Leicester Fields, offering rolled-out portable strops and other barbering equipment. Also notes social figures and nobles connected to the era.
