THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, March 15, 1774 The entire front page is taken up with: "Substance of the American Papers read before the House of Commons..." which essentially summarizes the political relations with the colonies within the past year. Some interesting reading, which ends with Gov. Hutchinson stating: "...it is Parliament and Parliament only which can restore that turbulent country to peace & bring order out of confusion...".
An inside page has half of its space taken up with an item headed: "Province of Massachusett's Bay, June 29, 1773" which begins: "The re-establishment of the union & harmony that formerly subsisted between Great Britain & her colonies is earnestly to be wished by the friends of both..." with much more (see photos).
The bkpg. has a summary of proceedings in the House of Commons which includes various items concerning America such as: "...among other measures proper to be pursued, that the navigation of the port of Boston should be stopped till the inhabitants were brought to a proper sense of their duty..." with much more. Eight pgs., 8 1/2 by 11 in., very nice, clean condition. Partial red ink tax stamp on page 4.
