August 26, 1775
THE PENNSYLVANIA EVENING POST, Philadelphia, August 26, 1775
* Much on a speech to reconcile with England
* Cannon fire on New York City
All of pages 1 and 2 & a bit of page 3 are taken up with a continued: "Speech of Edmund Burke, Esq., on Moving his Resolutions for Conciliation with the Colonies, March 22, 1775" which include comments of an historical perspective (see photos for a small portion of this address). Pg. 3 news from Cambridge notes some military appointments, and also reports on how the Continental Congress is handling the management of Indian affairs (see photos).
Page 3 also has other reports including: "How is the glory of Britain departed! Her army, which was not long since the terror of many nations, is now employed in cutting the throats of his Majesty's loyal subjects...".
A back page report from New York begins: "Yesterday our Congress directed that the cannon on the Battery should be removed..." and another historic report noted that cannon fire upon New York City alarms the people, and begins an exodus of many to New Jersey (see photos).
Complete in 4 pgs., some light foxing, generally in very nice condition. Measures about 8 by 10 inches.
