Pg. 3 has a report concerning the governor of Connecticut proclaiming a day of public fasting & prayer, in part reading: "....still holding the rod of correction over us by threatening the loss of our privileges and liberties--exhorting all ministers and people to mourn & beg pardon for their sins, & that God would restore, preserve, and secure the liberties of all the British American colonies." This issue was published just eleven days before the battle of Lexington & Concord. Complete in 4 pgs., some staining to the ftpg., minor foxing, otherwise nice. Measures about 8 by 10 inches.
