THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, Nov. 1, 1760 The front page includes the address to the new king, George III, from the Mayor of London, congratulating him and offering his loyalty and support. The inside includes the detailed account of the Coronation of King James II, "Stanzas occasioned by the Death of His Late Most Sacred Majesty" (King George II), and other related news of the day.
The back page has a report of an autopsy on King George II who died on October 25, noting in part: "Upon opening the body of his late Majesty the right ventricle of the heart was found burst & the pericardium filled with a great quantity of extravasated & coagulated blood. The left ventricle was found empty...His Majesty had been frequently out of order of late, and his pulse so extremely low that the physicians could scarce perceive any motion in it at all.".
Eight pages, very nice condition.
