THE COUNTRY JOURNAL: OR THE CRAFTSMAN, London, Dec. 1, 1733  Amongst the various news reports in this issue is an interesting pg. 2 report reading: "Letters from Virginia mention the great joy of that colony upon the defeat of the Excise Bill, which had put them under terrible apprehensions, notwithstanding the artifices made use of to persuade us here that it came originally from thence, & was calculated for their service..." with more, as seen in the photos below.
Also on pg. 2 is: "The Lord Commissioners of the Admiralty have received orders to send several men of war forthwith to Georgia in America, to cruize there and at Port Royal in order to prevent any attempt that shall be made by the Spaniards on the said colony."
All of pgs. 3 & 4 are taken up with ads, a few illustrated (see photos) and a great, full red-inked restrike tax stamp on pg. 3. Excellent condition.
