* Rare title w/ great masthead
* re. End of the Revolutionary War
See the large & very decorative engraving in this masthead, one of the nicest of the 18th century. The top of the front page has an ad for: "Haym Salomons" & also and ad for: "Broker's Office, by Isaac Franks", two of the leading Jewish financiers of the Revolutionary War. Page 2 has an address by the Quakers to the King of England, with the King's response. Also a interesting reference to the 13 star Flag, from Boston: "What emotions the sight of the thirteen stripes will excite in the breasts of the British Custom house officers we are not able to say; but it is very certain that those stripes have left such an impression on the backs of the British nation...". A report from Fishkill, New York, concerning the situation here at the end of the war (see).
Nearly half of page 2 is taken up with a great letter from New Jersey beginning: "After almost 8 years continuance of a most cruel & unnatural war, commenced by Great Britain against us (then her colonists) for the purpose of establishing an unlimited authority over us: On a cessation of hostilities taking place, likely to terminate in a firm & lasting peace, by which our freedom, sovereignty & independence are secure..." with more (see). A few other end-of-war items as well.
Four pages, great condition. A very displayable newspaper.
