* Stamp Act riots in America
Under "America" on an inside page is a report from Providence stating in part that: "...the Agent... informed them, that he had applied to the...Treasury for payment of the money due to the Colony...as a reimbursement for their services during the late war; but was told...that as there had been dangerous riots in the Colonies, on account of the Stamp-Act, in which several persons and their property were destroyed, they determined to retain the money...till ample compensation should be made to the sufferers."
Complete in 8 pages, trimmed a close at the top causing a bit of loss to the masthead.
