THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, Nov. 5 and Nov. 8, 1774 A pair of newspapers. The entire front page is taken up with a review of a pamphlet entitled: "A New Essay on the Constitutional Power of Great Britain over the Colonies in America, by the Pennsylvania Farmer" which was by none other than John Dickinson, who years earlier published a series of famous "Letters From A Farmer In Pennsylvania" which did much to inflame the hearts of the colonists against the British.
Near the beginning of the piece is: "...the gentleman who assumes the title of 'The Pennsylvania Farmer' has by his former writings distinguished himself as a warm and able advocate for the rights of the colonists & this new essay contains a further vindication of American claims..." This article carries over a bit to page 2 where it is noted: "To be continued".
An inside page has "...instructions given to the Deputies appointed to meet in General Congress on the part of the colony of North Carolina."
There is rubbing and some dirtiness to the front page which essentially does not cause loss of readability but does deter some. Complete in 8 pages & measures about 8 1/2 by 12 1/2 inches.
PLUS, included in this lot as well is the issue of Nov. 8, 1775 which has almost the entire ftpg. taken up with the continuation & conclusion of: "A New Essay on the Constitutional Power of Great Britain over the Colonies in America, by the Pennsylvania Farmer."
This issue is complete in 8 pages as well, has some rubbing to the top half of the ftpg. which causes loss to the readability of 3 or 4 words, otherwise is rather nice.
This issue also has a report from Hartford
Sold as a pair of issues.
