Very uncommon 18th century title... Peace between France & Prussia...



Item # 711189

January 28, 1795

THE ORACLE OF THE DAY, Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Jan. 28, 1795  This is a quite scarce 18th century American title as it existed only until 1799 and rarely comes on the market. We suspect the circulation was somewhat limited.
The entire front page and half of page 2 are taken up with: "Congressional Debates -- House of Representatives". Page 3 has a report from Paris: "PEACE!!!" announcing: "It is with great pleasure we announce to you the Good News of this Republic's having made Peace with Prussia...". This would be the Peace of Basel which would be formally signed on April 5, 1795.
Four pages, slightly close-trimmed to a portion of the bottom of page 3 affects only adds, nice condition.
