December 31, 1784
FOWLE'S NEW HAMPSHIRE GAZETTE & GENERAL ADVERTISER, Portsmouth, Dec. 31, 1784 A quite uncommon and very early newspaper from New Hampshire, rarely offered today. The inside pages have various news of the day with foreign reports on pg. 2 & "American Intelligence" on pg. 3, including an interesting item of a negro may who ran away from his master and has come up with a document certifying his freedom (see photo). Various ads scattered throughout as well. Very irregular at the spine margin with some loss but affecting little text. Much foxing & some ink stains to the back page, a few small wear holes. Never bound nor trimmed, complete in 4 pages.
