THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, July 21, 1774 Pg. 2 has some items from Boston dated June 2 which includes: "His Majesty's ships, frigates & schooners are now placed in such a manner in our harbour as to prevent any vessels going out or coming in, agreeable to the Act of Parliament for blocking up the said harbour, which took place yesterday so that we have reason to expect that in a little time the town will be truly in a distressed & melancholy situation..." (see).
Another page has a column which begins: "The outcry which has been raised against the Quebec bill seems to have been rather founded in prejudice than reason...The establishment of an Assembly there would throw the people into the utmost confusion...By the definitive treaty in 1763, Canada was ceded to us under the injunction of the inhabitants having the free exercise of their religion..." and more (see).
Eight pages, 8 1/2 by 11 inches, nice condition.
