From a late London paper. For sale by auction, at the great
room, St. James's-Street, the entire stock in trade of a
warlike nation, just left off business.
One hundred and twenty thousand men, very little of the
worse for use, and warranted as brave as at the first
moment--to be had dog cheap.
Several thousand officers swords, very fit for Hyde Park,
the play, the opera, &c. most of them having never been used
elsewhere. They are elegantly ornamented, and not a speck
of rust to be discovered, which is the more remarkable, as
many of them were never out of the sheath. . . [49 lines]
