THE PENNSYLVANIA JOURNAL & WEEKLY ADVERTISER, Philadelphia, March 8, 1783  It is possible two advertisements have more significance than the content in this issue.  The back page has a rather large ad for "Haym Salomons", the noted Jewish financier. Salomon was a Jewish emigrant from Poland, imprisoned in 1778 by the British for aiding the Revolutionaries and was condemned to death, but he escaped to Philadelphia. There he started a successful brokerage business. He aided Robert Morris in obtaining loans from France and pledged his own fortune to the new government to maintain its credit. Salomon was never recompensed and he died impoverished.
Page 3 has a nice had headed: "Broker's Office by ISAAC FRANKS..." with much detail. Franks was a noted Jewish financier & served under Washington during the Revolutionary War.
Page 2 has a report noting in part: "In the treaty of peace now carrying on between Great Britain & other belligerent powers, the former has taken care to stipulate for a provision for the unfortunate loyalists and refugees; it is generally understood that a very large tract of land bordering upon Canada is to be ceded to these unfortunate people..." with more. A few other end-of-war items in the issue as well.
Four pages, very handsome engraving in the masthead, slightly irregular at the blank spine, very nice condition.
