The Traveler… it’s a boy… poetry in cards…
November 6, 2017 by The Traveler · Leave a Comment
Today’s journey took me to London, England, by the means of The London Chronicle dated November 5, 1767 where great news was announced. “This day about noon the Queen was happily delivered of a Prince…This great event was soon after made known by the firing of the Tower guns. Her majesty is, God be praised, as well as can be expected; and the young Prince is in perfect health.” This was Prince Edward Augustus who would become the Duke of Kent.
Also in this issue is an interesting nearly column-length poem entitled “Card-Playing Philosophized – Addressed to a Young Lady, with a Pack of Cards”.
