* American independence ?
The front page reports discussions in the House of Lords which includes some discussion of the Revolutionary War. There is also discussion in the House of Commons, including: "...Governor Johnston...said that the capture of Long Island was by no means a matter worthy of triumph as that island was a mere out-post to New York, as New York was an out-post to America...he was far from being pleased with the Americans for their declarations of independency but that they were driven to the measure by our rigorous persecution of them...that the mode of their declaring for independency was, to be sure in some measure indefensible..." with more (see). This discussion carries over to page 2 as well.
Four pages, folio size, red tax stamp on the front page, nice condition.
