September 08, 1774
THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, Sept. 8, 1774  Page 2 has a letter from Boston which includes: "...The unkind, severe, & cruel steps Parliament have taken & still are taking to subdue America is the reason of your not receiving orders...the whole continent...will enter into a non-consumption agreement..." (see photos). This is followed by another letter from Boston which has some terrific texts, including: "It appears that the drift of Administration...is to divide the union of the American Colonies, & that devoted Boston shall feel the unparalleled tokens of their displeasures. Butg let us not be dismayed; Let us persevere to the end, , and resolve to yield our lives & fortunes before we submit to the iron yoke of tyranny! And let this sacred truth be borne in the mind of every American, that 'That by Uniting we stand, by Dividing we fall' ."
Another page has a report from Philadelphia which reports a resolve beginning: "That there is an absolute necessity that a congress of deputies from the several colonies be held as soon as conveniently may be to consult together upon the present unhappy state of the colonies...", which is a call that would result in the First Continental Congress in Philadelphia, September of 1774.
What follows is an address signed by: Tho. Gage, governor of Massachusetts, offering pardon to those soldiers who recently deserted (see photos). This is followed by yet another proclamation signed: Tho. Gage (see photos), and also two letters from New  York, one relating to delegates for the First Continental Congress (see photos).
The back page has another letter from Boston.
A great wealth of fine content concerning America in this issue. Eight pages, 8 1/2 by 11 inches, red tax stamp on page 2, very nice condition.
