18038839NY: Michael Burnham 1803. Periodical. Good. The original paper letterpress printed on laid paper good plus; the bottom left corner is missing no loss of text and there are some black smudges on the inner pages but all is legible. Left side shows signs of removal from a folio binding. No foxing. Most interesting is an article on page 2 on the execution in Britain of Edward Marcus Despard 'The Unfortunate Colonel Despard'. He was hanged then beheaded with his head held up for exhibit before about 20000 spectators. There seems to be no evidence even today regarding his guilt or innocence of the treason charge. The articles prints his last words in which he declares his innocence and closes: "May it be the last account of such a nature that shall appear in this or any other paper!" Originally Despard and his 'conspirators' were sentenced to be drawn and quartered as well; the editor was spared describing that. The last page contains a silly poem recent acts of the Seventh Congress under Jefferson land sales and writs of attachment. <br/> <br/> Michael Burnham unknown
