THE PENNSYLVANIA JOURNAL; AND THE WEEKLY ADVERTISER, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, dated September 19, 1765
* Colonial Philadelphia PA original
* Tax stamp era
* 18th century original
Over the half of the front page is taken up with a letter which begins:
* In this time of public complaint, when the genius of America seems to droop her head under the weighty load imposed upon us by parliament...
and much more, the letter concludes: "...We are not to enquire whether the parliament be intimidated with our demanding our just rights or not, but it is a duty we owe to ourselves and posterity to preserve entire, the liberty we have received from our ancesters....Have we not revealed...our distressed situation? yes, we have published it loud enough to make even the deaf hear." Signed in type: A True American.
A page 2 report under "Boston" says: "We hear the friends of the stampman for New-Hampshire, in order to...prevent...any marks of publick disgrace to him, have engaged that he will resign that office upon his arrival there; otherwise they will leave him to the consequences of the popular resentment."
Some rubbing in the front page letter, mend on the inside spine, a few areas of foxing, otherwise in very good, untrimmed condition.
