THE ORACLE OF THE DAY, Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Jan. 15, 1794 This is a quite scarce 18th century American title, this being the volume 2, number 13 issue. It existed only until 1799.
All of the front page and most of page 2 are taken up with the: "Report Of the Secretary of State on the Privileges and Restrictions on the Commerce of the United States in Foreign Countries" which is signed in type: Th. Jefferson. Following the letter are considerable details.
Inside has a report headed: "Queen Of France' which notes in part: "On the 14th October, the late Queen of France was brought to trial before the Revolutionary Tribunal. She was charged of having squandered away the finances of the state..." with additional charges. Then the report closes with: "...when she was found guilty of the several charges alleged against her, sentenced to be beheaded--which sentence was immediately put in execution."
Four pages, great condition.
