Fragmented 18th Century War and Social Notes Across Europe
The excerpt surveys unrest and military moves in 1761 across London and Europe. It mentions London’s theatrical flirts and a brewer’s protest against a new strong beer tax, plus police and civic officials in London. It then shifts to Army of the Empire operations near Glatz and the Rhine, Prussian detachments, Cossack clashes near Stettin, and Austrian and Russian movements. Notable deaths include Berlin officials and Archduke Charles, with Vienna reporting illness and funerary rites. Reports cover Saxony, Thuringia, and Brandenburgh margins, detailing troop actions, requisitions, and supply scarcities amid broader continental conflict.
