Gazetteer text on price of provisions and civic politics
The piece discusses reducing provisions prices, urging foresight and benevolent schemes, then shifts to political commentary on London's aldermen, barons, clergymen, and the Wilkes opposition. It cites charter rights, critiques clerical dress, and references Crown influence, parliamentary authority, and public sentiment in late 18th century London.
