Lippard's Legends of the Revolution advertised in Plainfield ads

The Plainfield Gazette promotes Lippard's Washington and his Generals in two octavo volumes, priced at one dollar for the text and 150 for a bound edition. The notice touts critical praise, notes origin from the Saturday Courier series, and invites orders with remittance to T B Peterson Philadelphia. It includes a humorous tale of Hezekiah Spaulding and a breakfast scam in an Ohio village as additional reading.
