Original issue of the Leicester Herald, printed Friday, June 12, 1795, in Leicester, England.

Notable content includes:
• French Revolution reporting (1793 events referenced) including proclamations and reports connected with the French National Convention
• Detailed section titled “Foreign Intelligence – France” describing decrees concerning religious worship and national buildings under revolutionary authority
• Additional Revolutionary material referencing the Committee of Public Safety and revolutionary political developments
• Multiple reports on British Parliamentary proceedings, including debates and motions in the House of Lords concerning war and peace policy
• Extensive domestic and international political news columns
