THE PENNSYLVANIA JOURNAL & THE WEEKLY ADVERTISER, Philadelphia, Oct. 25, 1775  Does this newspaper not have one of the most beautiful & decorative mastheads of the Revolutionary War? Plus it is in great condition as well.
Most of the front page is taken up with letters headed: "Further Account of Tom. Hutchinson's Assiduity in Rooting up our ONCE happy Constitution and of his Endeavours to Disunite the AMERICAN COLONIES" (see for portions). Page 2 has much concerning the situation of governor Joseph Martin and his involvement in a plot to subvert the friendship of the American cause in North Carolina, the revolt of the slaves, and the secreting away of gunpowder (see images).  Also on page 2 is a report that: "The enemy fired above ninety cannon balls into Roxbury on Friday...which did no other damage than killing two cows and wounding the arm of a marine, taken at Lexington & since inlisted in the Continental army. General Washington has heard from Col. Arnold, who had then passed the Carrying Place & was going to embark on the River Chaudiere...there were no forces of consequence to resist him at Quebec..." and more. There is more war-related reporting on page 3 as well.
Page 3 also has a black-bordered report beginning: "Last Sunday died of an apoplectic stroke, in the fifty-third year of his age, the Honorable PAYTON RANDOLPH, Esquire, of Virginia, late President of the Continental Congress..." with more on him (see images).
Complete in 4 pages and in very nice, clean condition. A great issue with much war-related reporting from this significant year.
