THE PENNSYLVANIA GAZETTE, Philadelphia, Aug. 25, 1763  This is perhaps one of the most famous newspapers of the colonial era, almost entirely because it was printed by Benjamin Franklin, as indicated by the imprint at the bottom of the back page which lists him by name, and identifies him as the Postmaster as well: "Printed by B. FRANKLIN, Post-Master, and D. HALL, at the New-Printing-Office, near the Market." (see photos) 
Franklin's imprint only appeared in the Pennsylvania Gazette through 1765, and many issues of this period are found without the imprint as it often appeared on the advertising leaf, commonly thrown away. This is an issue complete with all four pages and with the Franklin imprint intact.
The front page has reports from London, New York, and Boston, with the latter report beginning: "On Wednesday last, being the Day appointed for proclaiming the Peace..." which concerns the Seven Years' War, or the French & Indian War as it was known in the American colonies.
Page 2 has more reports from colonial towns including mention of trouble with Indians, and that: "...a man of the New Jersey provincials...was scalped within a mile and a half of the fort...Two sailors belonging to Commodore Loring have also share the same fate at the mouth of Lake Erie where they had gone to embark for Detroit..." and more.
Pages 3 and 4 are almost entirely taken up with advertisements, reflecting the great success of this newspaper under Franklin's ownership.
Complete in four pages, some archival mends near margins and at the blank spine margin, generally in very nice, clean condition.
