THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, October 17, 1775
* Early into the Revolutionary War
A page 2 item includes: "...the deepest concern at the unjustifiable proceedings of some of your Majesty's colonies in America...abhorrence of them...With regret & indignation we see colonies, which owe their existence...to this their parent country, unnaturally regardless of the fostering hand that raised & supported them & affecting distinctions in their dependence...".
Page 3 has a letter from Quebec tells of war events in upper New York, etc. (see). Another page has a letter from Williamsburg concerning the non exportation of various items from the colony. Yet another page has a report from Norfolk reporting concerns of relations with England (see for portions).
The war-related reports continue to take almost the entire back page including an item noting: "...the brave General Howe has not slept out of his cloathes since the 17thn of last June, that he never rests at night but only lies down for some short relief during the day..." and a bit more (see).
Complete in 8 pages, 8 1/2 by 11 1/4 inches, small rubbing hole on the front leaf affects 2 words on pg. 1 & 2 words on page 2, nice condition.
