A short explanation of some of the principal things contained in The revelation of St. John. Shewing, from the XIth chapter, that the fall of the tenth part of Turkey, by the oppressed witness of Christ, is begun, under the Protection of the Empress of Russia. All Things being now ripe for the Fall of Popery, the Appearance of some powerful inspired Person is shewn to be speedily expected, to reform the Protestant Church to the primitive Purity; which, according to the XIVth Chapter, and other Places, is to be propagated amongst the Romanists, and supported by Wars till they are united in the same Faith, and in a Religious War against the Turks; which is to commence quickly after the Fall of the Tenth Part of Turkey by the Witnesses, and be carried on by the Christian Powers, till it terminates in the Destruction of the Mahometan Anti-Christ, and in the Restoration of the Jews in the Millennium.

Everyman his own broker: or, A guide to exchange-alley. In which the nature of the several funds, vulgarly called the stocks, is clearly explained, and accurate computations are formed of the average value of East India stock for several years, from the current year. The mystery and iniquity of stock-jobbing is laid before the public, in a new and impartial light. The method of transferring stock, and of buying and selling the several government securities, without the assistance of a broker, is made intelligible to the meanest capacity; and an account is given of the laws of force relative to brokers, clerks at the bank, &c. With directions how to avoid the losses that are frequently sustained by the destruction of bank notes, India bonds, &c. by fire, and other accidents. Also, an historical account of the origin, progress, and present state of public credit, of the national debt, both principal and interst, of banking, and of the sinking-fund; with advice to adventures in the state-lotteries. To which is added, a supplement, containing rules for forming a judgement of the real causes of the rise or fall of the stocks; and several useful tables. The tenth edition, considerably improved. By Thomas Mortimer, Esq. author of the Elements of commerce, politics, and finances.

Paeonia officinalis L. Paeoniaceae, European Peony, Distribution: Europe. The peony commemorates Paeon, physician to the Gods of ancient Greece (Homer’s Iliad v. 401 and 899, circa 800 BC). Paeon, came to be associated as being Apollo, Greek god of healing, poetry, the sun and much else, and father of Aesculapius/Asclepias. Theophrastus (circa 300 BC), repeated by Pliny, wrote that if a woodpecker saw one collecting peony seed during the day, it would peck out one’s eyes, and (like mandrake) the roots had to be pulled up at night by tying them to the tail of a dog, and one’s ‘fundament might fall out’ [anal prolapse] if one cut the roots with a knife. Theophrastus commented ‘all this, however, I take to be so much fiction, most frivolously invented to puff up their supposed marvellous properties’. Dioscorides (70 AD, tr. Beck, 2003) wrote that 15 of its black seeds, drunk with wine, were good for nightmares, uterine suffocation and uterine pains. Officinalis indicates it was used in the offices, ie the clinics, of the monks in the medieval era. The roots, hung round the neck, were regarded as a cure for epilepsy for nearly two thousand years, and while Galen would have used P. officinalis, Parkinson (1640) recommends the male peony (P. mascula) for this. He also recommends drinking a decoction of the roots. Elizabeth Blackwell’s A Curious Herbal (1737), published by the College of Physicians, explains that it was used to cure febrile fits in children, associated with teething. Although she does not mention it, these stop whatever one does. Parkinson also reports that the seeds are used for snake bite, uterine bleeding, people who have lost the power of speech, nightmares and melancholy. Photographed in the Medicinal Garden of the Royal College of Physicians, London.
