On one side of this struggle, which has been going on since 1804, are the British, French and Germans, in support of Greek independence from Turkey, and Russia on the other side, but also supporting the Greeks, but helping themselves to territory near Constantinople. More than one column dedicated to discussion of new school books that are coming out, the best and most prominent being "The Improved Guide to English Spelling" by William B. Fowle. There is a long, humorous column about "Recollections of China" that discusses Chinese desire to be buried in a good coffin. A son will sell himself into slavery to pay for a good coffin for his father. If you cannot pay for a good funeral to go with the fine coffin, you seal and glaze the coffin until better times arrive, even 20 years. The first part of a funeral is like an Irish burial, with a great deal of howling.

4 pp. 39 x 50 cm. Newspaper, small holes in folds, good. Inscription on top of page one "G. Wilkinson". Excellent two-column dissertation by J.R. Poinsett of South Carolina, who has been the United States' Envoy to Mexico, but accused by the Mexicans of meddling in their internal affairs and fomenting revolution. This discussion of accusations and Poinsett's explanations is tremendously valuable to anyone interested in the history of Mexican-American relations preceding the annexation of Texas, and the war that ended with the accession of much of the southwestern United States. Erasmus Doolittle writes a lively, humorous column about his travel to China. It is interesting to see how much Boston readers were exposed to in 1829! Report from England of events in Turkey, where the Russians are at the gates of Constantinople. The Sultan has removed to Broussa (Bursa), about 100 miles from Constantinople, across the Propontis (Hellespont). Report from the Alllgemeine Zeitung states that Russian troops have landed at Sizeoboli, and the whole army of the Seraskier has been dispersed. The Armenians, whom the Sultan has by his very ill-judged policy alienated, every where united with the Russians as they advance.
