Vol. XI, no. 824. 4pp. Folio (16 3/4 x 10 in.; 424 x 255 mm). NO CHRISTMAS HERE. "I call this issue 'curious' because, although it was published on Christmas Day, the word 'Christmas' does not once appear. Imagine a series of advertisements today on Christmas Day with no mention of Christmas! It was a far different time with far different interests and preoccupations. Only two months earlier had Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown, bringing to an end the Revolutionary War" (Grolier/Elliott). Grolier/Elliott 21
