THE EDINBURGH EVENING COURANT, Edinburgh, Scotland, June 15, 1782  The front page of this issue has an interesting notice headed: “Seaman Wanted" to serve on two privateer ships.
The notice feature engravings of the two privateer vessels, plus details about the weaponry of each, with mention that one  “...is a most capital ship, and during her last cruize captured three rich American vessels.”  At the bottom of the notice is mention that: "A Surgeon is also Wanted."
There are two other non-privateer ship notices on the front page, each with an engraving of a ship, one ironically, described as "A Neutral Vessel".
Very unusual to have two ship engravings in a single notice, and very uncommon to have a mention of American ships being captured in the ad. Nice to have on the front page, from the waning days of the Revolutionary War. Front page also has a red-inked tax stamp in the lower right corner.
Four pages, 17 by 11 1/2 inches, the front page has some light rubbing, and a bit of staining in the right margin.
