Sobre este artículo
New York: James Rivingto, 1795. 88pp. 20th-century green half morocco and cloth, spine gilt. Very light staining to first few leaves. Very good. First American edition, after the first London of the previous year, of this account of the Reign of Terror as seen by a royalist. It includes a "Historical Chronicle from October 1793 to July 1794" and a "Proclamation of the Generals of the Army of the Royalists." Its publication was intended as another Federalist volley against Republicans in the escalating contest between the partisans of Hamilton and Jefferson. Interestingly, printed by James Rivington, the "Loyalist printer" who stayed in New York printing pro-British material throughout the British occupation 1776-1783. That he was happily printing away in New York at this point suggests that he may have indeed worked as a pro-American spy that whole time. Only a handful of copies in ESTC. EVANS 29020. ESTC W20098.
