THE CONNECTICUT COURANT, Hartford, June 11, 1798  Page 2 has much correspondence & reporting on the XYZ Affair with France. Related to this is a page 3: "Bill to Suspend the Commercial Intercourse Between the United States & France".
Page 3 also has two curious Acts from Connecticut: "An Act, in Addition to & alternation of an Act entitled 'An Act for Preventing Mischief by Dogs" and the other: "An Act for Suppressing Montebanks, Rope-Dancers, Tumblers, etc."
A "mountebank" is a person who sells quack medicines, as from a platform in public places, attracting and influencing an audience by tricks, storytelling, etc.
Four pages, a bit irregular at the blank spine, some archival mends at margins, a horizontal crease, otherwise good.
