FELIX FARLEY'S BRISTOL JOURNAL, England, Aug. 18, 1798
* Rare 18th century publication
* George Washington to be Commander again
Nice engraving in the masthead. The news reports are mostly from England but the front page has: "America and France" and the troubling relationship between the two. Also a report that: "...the venerable Washington has accepted the Command in Chief of the American forces. He was to be at Baltimore about the 11th ult. on his way to Philadelphia, which is to be the head-quarters....".
Included are reports concerning the French representative, Talleyrand, and what became known as the XYZ Affair which would lead to the Quasi War.
Nice red tax stamp on the front page.
Four pages, never-trimmed margins, good condition.
Category: The 1600's and 1700's
