London, April 12, 1783.
For sale by auction, at the Great Room St. James's Street,
the entire stock in trade of a warlike nation, just left off
business.
One hundred and twenty thousand men, very little the worse
for use, and warranted as brave as at the first moment. To
be had dog cheap.
Several thousand officers swords, very fit, for Hyde Park,
the play, operas, &c. most of them having never been used
elswhere--They are elegantly ornamented, not a speck of rust
to be discovered, which which [sic] is the more remarkable,
as many of them were never out of the sheath.
Several thousand military cocked hats, of a mild and
inoffensive nature, and such as retain not any vestage of
the smell of gun powder.
