THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, Sept. 9, 1775   This is a doubly terrific issue, as the entire front page is taken up with: "Advices From America" including a rather detailed: "...true & genuine Account of the proceedings of the King's Troops & the Provincials since the 18th of April to June 24th giving a detail of the Killed & wounded on both sides."
The report includes: "But on the 18th of April the General having previous information that they had formed their grand magazine at a place called Concord...dispatched 500 troops with the greatest secrecy, at ten o'clock at night, to go &I destroy that magazine. The troops no soon got over the ferry...than alarms were spread throughout the country by firing of cannon, ringing of bells & post riders; all this was planned before that time. The troops proceeded on their march...saw numbers of armed men traveling towards them...found about 100  of them on a green...ordered them to dismiss...they...began to retire & after going to a small distance...Y getting behind some fences some of them turned about & fired...upon which the troops fired on the others as they ran....proceeded on their march...sent three companies to miles beyond ...to defend a bridge that the rebels might not come upon them...by this time the magazine was destroyed..." and so much more (see photos). This is a terrific account of this signal battle of the Revolutionary War, and rare mention of being warned by "post riders" (reference to Paul Revere!).
This report continues to the bottom of the ftpg. where is talk of the battle of Bunker Hill: "On the 17th instant...the rebels had thrown up an entrenchment on a hill on the other side of the river [here the report carries over to pg. 2]...the alarm about this new movement...a battery on an eminence in this town directly opposite to their works began to play upon them, but found they could not dislodge them. The rebels fired a few shot into this town...." and what follows is some great text on the battle of Bunker Hill, ending with: "...Early next morning I went over & saw the field of battle before any of the dead were buried, which was the first thing of the sort that ever I say, & I pray God I may never have the opportunity of seeing the like again..." with even more (see photos) taking one-third of pg. 2.
Page 2 also has some reports headed "Extract of a Letter from Fredericksburg, Virginia" and there are other bits relating to the war throughout this issue. There is even mention that: "Capt. Cook, who commanded the two last expeditions round the world, is made a Captain of Greenwich Hospital."
Truly a terrific issue on two of the more significant battles of the Revolutionary War, and great to have so much great content on the front page.
Eight pgs., 8 1/2 by 11 1/4 inches, very nice condition.
