THE MORNING POST & DAILY ADVERTISER, London, March 12, 1785
* Post Revolutionary War America
Inside has a report from New York noting in part: "...he had resided some years before the American Independency, gives the following brief account of the present situation of affairs there...their paper money...has turned out o no value; their army have lost their pay; they are not masters of a single ship of war, nor of one complete company of soldiers. Almost all their fortifications are destroyed & their Congress chiefly composed of men of no abilities, rank or character, and rendered still less respectable, and to be confined in by the admission of several pettifogging attorneys at law...The French...are universally despised and detested, and an Englishman, who has spirit & integrity enough to avow his love for the mother country, is sure to be prosecuted without mercy." and more.
Four pages, full red tax stamp on the front page, very nice condition.
