Public Ledger in London, Middlesex

Morning Scene and News from the British Magazine

An eclectic poem and miscellaneous notices describe dawn at the village, shepherds, birds, and bees, interwoven with ship arrivals, theatre ads, patent medicines, and a chaotic London Exchange scare sparked by a cow. Reports include ships captured or ransomed near Oporto and various vessels seized by privateers, with a dispatch from Gravesend and theatre entertainments at Sadler's Wells.
