Displayable issue, as well as the XYZ Affair...

Item # 694536
October 01, 1800
THOMAS'S MASSACHUSETTS SPY, OR WORCESTER GAZETTE, Oct. 1, 1800  

* Turn of the 19th century
* Nice issue for display


A wonderful masthead makes this a displayable issue.
Page 3 has over a full column report from Paris: "American Envoys - State of the Negotiation Between France and America". This is over the XYZ Affair, a diplomatic incident between French and United States diplomats that resulted in a limited, undeclared war known as the Quasi-War. Negotiators restored peace with the Convention of 1800.
Four pages, great condition.
