From the New-York Gazette. Advertisement. The late
surrender of Lord Cornwallis and his army must undoubtedly
produce the most happy effects to the British nation, by
accelerating the termination of the war and the views of the
ministry with respect to America; . . . [26 lines, essay
suggesting the Rivington is selling off his wares and moving
to Europe, followed by a list of books, 1/2 column, probably
a satire as well. Near the end:]
Also--plays, maps and prints, &c. which are also equally
useful and entertaining.
N.B. To every purchaser to the value of 5l. will be given
gratis one quire of counterfeited Continental currency.
Also two quires of proclamations, offering pardon to the
rebels, printed on soft paper. [signed] James Rivington.
New-York, Nov. 1, 1781.
