Item # 716249
May 13, 1799
SUPPLEMENT TO J. RUSSELL'S GAZETTE, Boston, May 13, 1799  A single sheet supplement issue with most of the front page taken up with a huge chart of "Prices Current at Boston" which is interesting to peruse.
The balance of the issue is taken up with advertisements, the most intriguing of which is on the back page: "Take Notice - Whereas a quantity of filth and manure has been taken up in Boston Streets & deposited in Milk Street near the Common...if the same is not removed the owners...will be considered a nuisance..." and a bit more, signed in type: Paul Revere, President, of the Board of Health.
Folio size, single sheet, a few minor margin tears, nice condition.
