INDEPENDENT CHRONICLE, Boston,  March 17, 1814

* Two Acts signed in block type by James Madison
* Proposal made to various Indian Chiefs
* Woodcut of a ship which includes the famous phrase: "Don't Give Up The Ship"


Front page contains two political Acts, each signed in type by Vice President: JAMES MADISON.   The second page contains "...the substance of the propositions made by Mr. J. Johnston, Agent for the United States, to the Chiefs of the Shawanese, Wyandots, Senecas, Miamies, Pottawatimies, Ottaways, and Kickapoos..."
A center column front page political ad supports the Dexter-Gray ticket for Governor & William Gray for Lieut. Gov. Just above the ad is a small woodcut of a ship that has a banner with: "Don't Give Up The Ship."
Eight pages, traces of foxing, close trimmed on top border of some inside pages with minor loss of text, otherwise nice.
