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, viz.
One hundred and twenty thousand men, very little 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, operas, &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.
. . . [List of other military and political items for sale,
including cocked hats, gun powder, cannon, hair powder,
cannon balls,, etc.]
