Additional Details

The masthead is illustrated with a patriotic cut of thirteen hands grasping a ring, captioned "All Hands with One Inflamed Enlightened Heart." Includes a report of d'Estaing's alleged victory at Savannah-- "It is supposed all of the British force in Georgia are made prisoners of war"--which proved to be quite inaccurate.
