Death of John Paul Jones & a letter by Thomas Paine...
Item # 703598
September 26, 1792
COLUMBIAN CENTINEL, Boston, Sept. 26, 1792 Most of the front page is taken up with "Mr. Paine's Letters to Lord Onslow" which has two of them, each signed in type: Thomas Paine.
The balance of the front page is taken up with an article headed: "John Paul Jones" which is a bit of a eulogy on him, including in part: "...that intrepid naval commander John Paul Jones...his English biographers have been pleased to denominate a Pirate..." and more.
Following this is an article which begins: "Died, at Paris, in the utmost poverty, the celebrated PAUL JONES--This noted desperado appeared first in the cause of America in April, 1778..." with more, carrying over to page 2 to take one-third of a column.
This appears to be just the second issue of the title & date we have been able to bring on the market in over 20 years.
Four pages, some archival repair to a blank portion of the spine, not affecting any type, nice condition.
