The front page is entirely filled with ads including: "Twenty Dollars Reward" for a runaway: "...Negro Man named Dick, about five feet eight or nine inches high..." with more (see).
Page 2 has reports from the "House of Lords" which includes: "...Lord Coventry spoke against the address, particularly against that part of it which enforces the further continuance of the American war...Was America in a greater disposition to sue for peace now she had declared her independency, than before? Was she weakened by her new alliance with France?..." with much more on the debate regarding continuing the Revolutionary War (see photos for portions).
A page 3 letter from London begins: "My friends & I have suffered greatly by the stoppage of trade...". More ads on page 3, and the entire bkpg. is taken up with ads.
This is one of the more handsome American newspapers from the Revolutionary War with an extremely ornate masthead (see photos) and untrimmed margins. This issue is complete in four pages and in truly excellent condition.
