Description
AMERICAN NEWSPAPER REPORTING ON THE FRENCH REVOLUTION. The Massachusetts Mercury. Volume I, Number LXI, Monday, May 20, 1793. Boston: Young and Etheridge, 1793. Folio (255 x 215 mm). 4 pp on one conjoined leaf, mounted with leaves spread out, showing pp 1 and 4 on verso and 2 and 3 on recto, matted and framed with double glazing. Fold creases, light browning. The news from Europe stands in stark and violent contrast to the relatively pastoral domestic content in this 1793 newspaper. While most of the front page is taken up by a poem entitled 'On Liberty' the news from Paris occupying the right-hand column describes 'a preacher of peace at Cologne [who] had the cruelty to propose, upon hearing of the decapitation of Louis, to have all the French in that capitol seized and sacrificed on the gallows to the ghost of Louis the 16th — an offer that would have been worthy the divinity they adore — despotism!.' An article on the last page describes a series of letters between General Charles Dumouriez and other members of the French revolutionary government during his tumultuous campaign in to the Netherlands. Lot to be sold without reserve. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com For further information about this lot please visit the lot listing
