SALISBURY & WINCHESTER JOURNAL, England, July 27, 1789
* Beginning of the French Revolution
Many reports from & about England, however the back page has a report: "Bastile" referencing the recent attack on it, beginning: "In consequence of the destruction of this dreadful fortress, the grave of many miserable thousands or rather millions of French subjects..." with more. It was the storming of the Bastille just 13 days prior which signaled the beginning of the French Revolution. This article is followed by: "Some Account of the Earl of Massarene, Late a Prisoners in the Bastile" (see).
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, red tax stamp on the ftpg., bit close-trimmed at the top of pgs. 2 & 3 does not affect any noted content.
