July 06, 1790
THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, July 6, 1790 The last column of page three has an interesting trio of items. The first is an "Anecdote of the Late Dr. Franklin", followed by a nice account of a boxing match between Long Larry and Timothy Power (aka Bryan O'Linn), and the last is the account of a duel. Other news of the day along with period advertising is present throughout.
Eight pages, 8 1/2 by 11 inches, some slightly faded text, but in overall great condition.
Note: Additional information may be found regarding Larry O'Linn, a noteworthy boxer of the period, by doing an internet search.
