November 26, 1774
THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, Nov. 26, 1774  The ftpg. has an item from Providence, Rhode Island, which mentioned in part: "...advice that a mob was raised consisting of some hundreds of people who threatened, & were hourly expected to come to destroy said town of East Greenwich, in order to shew their resentment of the injury which they said had been offered to Stephen Arnold... one of the Justices of the Inferior Court of Common Please...who had been charged with industriously propagating principles unfriendly to American liberty, & had been hung in effigy by some of the people of East Greenwich..." with more, carrying over to pg. 2 which also includes the "...declaration and confession..." of Stephen Arnold, signed by him in type. Another page has: "The Thoughts of a Traveler Upon our American Disputes" which is continued from a previous issue & which takes two-thirds of the page (see photos for portions). Yet another report from Boston begins:  "As to public affairs here, I shall only say that things seem to be running very fast into confusion..." with more (see).  The back page has the mention of the arrival of a pamphlet containing Thomas Jefferson's Summary View. Complete in 8 pgs., scattered browning mainly near the folds, small posting tear at the top of the front two leaves causing no loss of readability, generally nice. Measures 8 1/2 by 11 1/2 inches.
