THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, Nov. 29, 1774  An inside page has over a full column of text headed "Extract of a Letter from New York" which has some great reading on events just prior to the outbreak of war in the colonies, with bits including: "...deliberations of the General Congress; but every thing they are about is endeavoured to be kept secret. To quiet our impatience & amuse us they have published a resolve, approving of the conduct of the town of Boston & have recommended to all the colonies a non-importation agreement...the colonies will never put any faith in the town of Boston...the Boston deputies at the General Congress are violent beyond all bounds & insist on the following measure, that each colony shall furnish a body of men properly equipped with arms & ammunition & march them to the assistance of Boston..." and so much more.
Included also is rare mention of famed Loyalist newspaper publisher James Rivington, with: "...Our principal bookseller and printer, Mr. Rivington, published only a single piece in his paper against our liberty proceedings...all the patriots have abused and threatened him ever since...His friends have advised him to do so no more or they will not bge able to protect him." See the photos for the complete text. Great content on events just prior to the Revolutionary War.
Complete in 8 pgs., some light dirtiness to the front page, more so near the top, minimal foxing throughout, generally very nice.
