February 24, 1773
THE PENNSYLVANIA GAZETTE, Philadelphia, February 24, 1773
* Rare Colonial issue
* Pre Revolutionary War tensions
* Post Benjamin Franklin
A famous colonial newspaper from this troubling year in relations with England, less than two years after the Boston Massacre and less than ten months before the Boston Tea Party. This title was published by Benjamin Franklin prior to 1766.
Half of the ftpg. is taken up with: "A Dissertation on the Laws of Excise No. II - By the Merchants's Lawyer..." (see for beginning). Pages 2& 3 have various news items not only from America but from Europe as well. The back page is entirely taken up with advertisements.
Complete in four pages, archivally rejoined at the central folds where once separated, and where there is some minor loss (see). Wear at the margin with some margin tears, light rubbing throughout.
A nice example of a colonial newspaper at a reasonable price.
