Great London mill and wind powered farm described in period notes
A London paper notes Albion Mill on the Surrey side of Blackfriars bridge beginning operation as the world’s largest mill to supply bread at lower cost. It describes a wind powered Barham Dewg device near Canterbury and other curiosities such as a wind driven land-failing machine, plus reflections on agriculture and fisheries as wealth sources. The piece also mentions a raised royal civil expenditure, a New York arrival, and various antiquated notices about ships and islands.
