GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, England, June, 1777* General William Howe
* Revolutionary War
* Restoring peace
Nearly five pages are taken up with: "Debate in the House of Lords...Relative to the American War" which obviously has much concerning the Revolution, including reference to America declaring itself independent.
Another page has a "Proclamation" signed in type by William Howe, from New York, on "...Restoring peace to the colonies..." which is good reading. Near the back is a great & detailed: "Extract of a letter from Howe to Germaine" from New York, talking of battles at Danbury Bound Brook, plus other affairs in the vicinity, taking a full page (see). This is followed by a letter to "Earl Percy on his leaving Rhode Island".
Included is the full page plate of the 'New or Water Tower at Chester" (see).
Complete in 48 pages, 5 by 8 1/4 inches, great condition.
A nice issue from the midst of the Revolutionary War offering a perspective into life in the "mother country" when it was at odds with its colonies, which just recently declared their independence.
