Notes

An apparently politically-inspired reprinting of Washington's address that counselled against "entangling alliances" in the context of Federalist charges that Jefferson and Madison were forging an alliance with France against Great Britain; Heiskell then conducted the Federalist press in Winchester that had been founded in 1788 by Richard Bowen.
