Event Comment: NNeville MS Diary: To
Ranelagh to hear a grand Jubilee Entertainment; it is
the most elegant public room in
the world and must give foreigners a high idea of
the riches of our nation. It is circular and
the fireplace is under a circular Portico in
the middle, round which are tables at which
the company are served with tea and coffee, and
there are two sets of boxes at
the side one above ano
ther for
the same purpose.
The landing room
from the river which projects a little into
the water commands a fine view of
the river and country...Saw
the Tripoline ambassador in
the dress of his country. Took notice of a
Miss Spencer and a
Miss Johnson, two pretty ladies of
the town,
the latter had one of
the prettiest faces I ever saw.
