Catalogue Note

An interesting eighteenth-century newspaper, with three separate date-lined reports from Europe on the progress of the negotiations of the Treaty of Paris.

Also of interest are the three prominent front-page advertisements placed by significant members of Philadelphia's vibrant Jewish community: Haym Salomons, Nones and Cohen, and Isaac Franks.
