Item # 600124Sorry, but this item is no longer available. Please be in touch at info@rarenewspapers.com if you would like to be placed on a want list or are interested in a potential alternate issue.
May 28, 1791
THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, May 28, 1791 Page 4 has a report concerning Botany Bay, beginning: "Letters have been received in town from Botany Bay which contain the most favourable accounts from that colony..." and some comments on previous problems with provisions (see). A red tax stamp affects a portion of this report - thus the discounted price for this issue.
The front page has a brief item headed: "Slave Trade" noting: "Sir William Dolben brought in his bill for continuing the act for regulating the carrying of slaves from the coast of Africa to the British plantations..." (see).
Eight pages with a full tax stamp on page four. Very nice condition.
