From "Philadelphia" it says: "We hear that Dr. FRANKLIN has been lately honoured by the Infanta of Spain with a volume of that Prince's works...". Another report mentions that: "The Hon. Peyton Randolf, Richard Henry Lee, Benjamin Harrison, George Wythe, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Nelson & Francis Lightfoot Lee, Esquires, are appointed Delegates by the Virginia Provincial Convention to represent that colony in the Continental Congress...".
Very minor archival mend to a blank margin of the back leaf, browning at the left side does not affect readability. Complete in 4 pages and untrimmed margins, nice coat-of-arms engraving in the masthead. Some fine content from the beginning months of the Revolutionary War.
