THE GREEN BOX OF MONSIEUR DE SARTINE, FOUND AT MADEMOISELLE DU THE'S LODGINGS. From the French of the Hague edition. Stated second edition, but actually the eighth; Tickell labelled the first edition the fifth, and this was applied to the first five. Political satire on the Franco-American alliance during the American Revolution, which purports to be the contents of a French Ministerial dispatch box, including supposed letters from Franklin, false accounts, etc. Only a handful of copies in ESTC.
