December 14, 1780

THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, Dec. 14, 1780  A short pg. 2 item notes: "...brings advices down as low as the 20th of Oct but they contain nothing more than a confirmation of the high spirits of the British troops in Carolina, & the declining state of the rebel force." Further on is a mention that: "Paul Jones's ship that sailed from hence with a convoy of 15 sail for America...is now ready for sea..." with more (see).
Another page has "American News" taken from the South Carolina Gazette which takes over half a page in describing in some detail a battle (see photos), followed by some nice content concerning the treaty between France & America including a document signed in type by: Ben Franklin, Arthur Lee, and John Adams. (see).
The bkpg. has some nice reporting on the Revolutionary War in the South, including: "...advices from South Carolina & Georgia confirming the report of an action having happened with a large party of the rebels...in which the Royalists gained a complete victory..." with more (see).
Eight pgs., 8 1/2 by 11 inches, very nice condition.
