Subject: Political Pamphlets

This pamphlet, published in Arnhem in 1778 by Antoine-Marie Cerisier (1749-1828), is a response to Isaac de Pinto's anti-revolution pamphlet, "Discours d'un bon Hollandais à ses compatriotes." Cerisier's work offers a pro-revolution perspective, engaging directly with de Pinto's arguments. This pamphlet is part of a four-part exchange between Cerisier and de Pinto, with all four pamphlets present in this collection. This specific pamphlet is followed by Cerisier's "Suite des observations impartiales d'un vrai Hollandais," also in this collection.

This archival item contains the January 1768 edition of The Gentleman's Magazine, a British periodical. Of particular note are two letters written by Benjamin Franklin, published under pseudonyms, supporting the American cause. These letters are mentioned in Paul Leicester Ford's "A List of Books Written By, Or Relating to Benjamin Franklin." The magazine also includes a brief, unrelated piece opposing Jewish emancipation.
