May 12, 1770
THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, May 12, 1770 An inside page has a report with some concerns in the Cabinet Council relating to America, including "...the troops are withdrawn from Boston & will not be sent there again until the Civil Magistrate calls for their assistance..." which is likely in response to the recent Boston Massacre. Also mention that: "...a certain Colony Agent has proposed to Administration to settle the American disputes by arbitration. Five arbiters to be chosen by the Ministry & five by the Americans...".
The back page has an item noting: "...some very important matters will be agitated in an august Assembly on Monday next relative to Boston & that the Revenue Acts will be again considered...".
Eight pages, 8 1/2 by 11 1/4 inches, very nice, clean condition.
