April 25, 1776
THE NEW-ENGLAND CHRONICLE, Boston, April 25, 1776
* Great year to have
* Rare title
* Revolutionary War era original
This is one of the less common newspapers from the Revolutionary War. The front page has a nice report on Harvard College conferring an honorary degree to George Washington (see photos), also presented in Latin as well.
The remainder of the front page is taken up with various Revolutionary War reports, as can be seen in the photos below. Half of page 2 is taken up with a great letter which begins: "It is now five weeks since the British army & navy were forced, with ignominity, to abandon the capital of this colony..." with much more (see photos). Page 3 has various Resolves from Congress, one of which is: "Resolved, That no slaves be imported into any of the Thirteen United Colonies" with more, signed in type: "By order of the Congress, John Hancock, President."
Page 3 also has a report of the reinterment of General Warren who died in the battle of Bunker Hill. The bkpg. has some nice correspondence between General Moore and the Tory General McDonald before the battle in North Carolina (see photos). There are several desertion ads on the back page
Complete in 4 pages, various wear at the folds has caused separation which has been archivally mended with some minor loss of text (see photos). A small hole in the back leaf (see photo). A fine opportunity for a very uncommon title dated not long before the Declaration of Independence.
