A long Imperial era advertisement page lists ship sales, auctions, and various public notices. It catalogs vessels like Rebecca and Major-Hardy, sale items including hemp and iron, lost and found items, employment wants, and property lettings across London ports and towns, with dates and prices where legible.
A fragmented notice lists public sale items and land claims in Berwickshire with references to the Lands and Barony of me and the Shire of Berwick. It accompanies a catalog of books and pamphlets including poems, sermons, essays, and theological works dated 1835 and earlier, noting prices and authors such as A Howard and S Chandler.
A scrambled OCR snippet lists many names and titles such as Alberth Michelsen, Francisco, Mr. Pepe, J. Baumgarthe, Laflré Mont, Jean Crock, Richard Airey, Mr. Haag, Hendrick Eldeniga, Carl, John Wyembicly, Angellice des pace ick, Robert Forster, Madam Lacomé, Sig Pasion, Wel Williams, and Pedro de Lorida plus assorted fragments. No clear event or context is present.
A garbled OCR cobbles together names such as Mrs Thomes Christy, Stephen Barnard, Ann Bilis, Mr. Baniel Grant, Captain Mag Mits, and many others, followed by a dense string of commodity prices and financial figures. The text resembles a ledger or market column listing GOODS at the Corn Exchange with Wheat, Barley, Rye, Oats, Malt, Pease, and other items priced in old currency, along with references to banks, bonds, and foreign exchange. The fragmentary nature leaves unclear events or context beyond a snapshot of participants and prices.
A garbled OCR style excerpt mentions BALSAM of Hermes and various odd terms. It references kings, authorities, and a relic bottle with shillings, implying a historic or ceremonial medicine item. The passage is incomprehensible in parts but suggests a royal or public notice about a medicine bottle and its contents.
A damaged pamphlet advertisement claims a honey balsam cures a cough and improves health. It touts vegetable bases, notes bottle proof, and lists distributors in St James's with claims of long experience and parliamentary endorsements.
