January 19, 1775
THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, Jan. 19, 1775  A page 3 report taken from Boston letters includes: "The residence of the General Congress at Philadelphia has entirely debauched the minds of the people of that place..are now as violent as any of the other Colonies. I am informed...that every resolution of the Congress will be strictly adhered to. No place on the continent has shewn so great an inclination to disobey the dictates of the General Congress as New York...". Another letter begins: "Our good General has his hands full: you are not unacquainted with the characters of the people he has to deal with..." with more (see).
Almost a full page is taken up with a lengthy "Speech of Edmund Burke, Esq., on American Taxation, April 19, 1774" which is continued from the previous issue. Portions of this speech are seen in the photos below.
Another pg. has an interesting article headed "America" which concerns trade with China (see photos for the beginning).
The backpg. has nearly a full column with reports concerning politics there, including definition of the word "Congress" (see photos).
Complete in 8 pages, some dirtiness to the front page, minor creases at two corners, internally quite nice & clean.
