Hudson & Goodwin," followed by "Copy of a letter from an American diplomatic character in France to a member of Congress in Philadelphia. 1st March 1798." The "letter from an American diplomatic character" is a criticism of Jay's Treaty and an appeal for better relations with France, written by Joel Barlow and originally addressed to Abraham Baldwin.

Barlow's Letter was first printed in Vermont in the form of a pamphlet; according to the prefatory letter in this broadside printing, the pamphlet was printed "at Matthew Lyon's press at Fairhaven." That printing was the basis of the third count in the indictment of Lyon under the Sedition Act. Text in six columns. Electronic resource. |
