A fragment from Tottenham Court Road dated June 12 1769 presents a verse piece titled Parnassus a Poets Walk. It imitates moralizing verse about temper and meekness in a young girl and her brother, hinting at a boarding school story and a hinted theft, with archaic diction and broken phrasing.
An 18th century verse fragment titled Ode to Cheerfulness presents stanzas praising health, country life, and rustic pleasures near the Severn and woodland settings. The piece alternates with a note on the poet’s mood and references to Angelina, followed by a printer’s advertisement about Dr. Norton’s drops and other medical elixirs, including sales notices and assurances of cures.
A historic advertisement for a newly issued cheap edition of the Holy Bible in sixty weekly numbers. It promises a fine paper, new type, blue-stitched twopenny installments, gratis perusal of the first number, and gratis copper plate delivery every fortnight. Subscriptions may include printed subscriber names with the volume. The aim is edifying instruction and affordability versus higher priced editions.
A damaged London column records a royal farewell and mentions the Duke of Cumberland, the Bath family, and the prince with uncertain spelling and places. The fragment suggests a morning scene around Richmond with references to the Prince and perhaps the Sea of its era, but clarity is limited.
Long dispatches describe Corsica’s siege of Corte and Paoli’s forces with French advances, plus Leghorn merchants reporting Corsican leaders arriving by open boats. Added are New York duty proposals, local elections, trade distress in Alderman Livington’s case, and social vignettes from London including a masquerade incident and royal errands.
