Item # 700840
August 14, 1798
THE EDINBURGH ADVERTISER, Scotland, Aug. 14, 1798 Page 4 has much reporting on the Napoleonic War with Nelson & Napoleon in Egypt. One bit notes: "...mentioning that Admiral Nelson and Buonaparte had met near Alexandria; that the fleets had engaged, and that Admiral Nelson had lost three ships & two frigates..." with much more.
Page 5 has most of a column headed: "Hostilities Betwixt America And France" with the port datelined: "America - Philadelphia, July 9". This is on the Quasi-War with France, and includes a letter signed by the President: John Adams.
Eight pages, 9 3/4 by 13 1/2 inches, a bit of foxing, good condition.
