March 14, 1785
THE MORNING POST & DAILY ADVERTISER, London, March 14, 1785 The top of page 2 has a report noting: "The last accounts from America are not of the most pleasing kind. A change in the form of government seems already to have caused a change of sentiment, or conduct, & of manners. The oppression of taxes is one evil universally complained of, but the great mortification they experience is in not finding those golden prospects realized which they indulged while struggling for independence...".
Further on: "The appointment of Consul General of America, it is reckoned, will be worth at least 1500 pounds per annum: his place or residence is to be at Philadelphia, or wherever Congress shall fit; two other Consul are also nominated for America, the one to reside at New York and the other at Boston."
Four pages, full red tax stamp on the front page, very nice condition.
