London Chronicle Survives tumult and public prayers
Fragmentary 18th century report notes shipments from Smyrna with Leghorn stops, public prayers for divine protection, and theatre diversions. It mentions the Duke of Wirtemberg, the Landgrave of Hesse, and Venetian affairs. Fashioned as a city pageant, the scene includes the Lord Bishop of Gloucester, Lord Mayor, Temple Bar, and Tower guns. It references tax and state deliberations and a busy ceremonial procession with nobility in mourning.
