Publisher receives a dense critique tracing Dr Free’s 1753 Oxford speech to a looming constitutional crisis. The piece argues Kent petitioners and Aylesbury cases reveal risk from a powerful House of Commons and pleads a bill defining privileges to protect subjects and laws under Magna Carta and the Bill of Rights.
Fragmented OCR text discusses the English constitution, the balance of power between Parliament and the Crown, and dangers of dangerous discretionary state control. It references antiquities and laws of England, the oaths of sovereignty, and hypothetical foreign questions about a House of Commons oversight. Mentions moves in Windsor and Woolwich, claims of vacancies in American affairs, and a royal and colonial communications context.

A Leicester stock ing maker, 40 years afflicted with a corrosive skin disorder, reports drastic improvement after using Marchant’s Drops prepared by Mr Norton of Piccadilly. He credits the medicine with restored appetite, healed sores, and the ability to work and support his family. Supporters endorse the remedy and promote its sale at the Golden Square pharmacopoeia.
The report blends a courtly scene with a murder conviction at Clerkenwell and a vivid dispatch from Leghorn and Paris. It details executions and sermons led by Rev. George Whitfield and Rev. Samuel Frink, then shifts to letters describing Corsican battles, Paoli’s counterattack, and European powers preparing for conflict. It also notes naval figures and a death in Kent.
