THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, March 4, 1766 Page 6 has a very notable report from Bristol, England: "Never was joy more general or citizens hearts more sensibly touched, than ours were last Monday, on hearing the favorable turn of the American affairs. The bells throughout the city rang incessantly the whole day and in the evening were uncommon bonfires; several houses were illuminated, the American coffee house in particular, from whose windows the merchants trading to that quart row the world threw money to the populace, which in return appeared decently grateful."
The celebration was for the expected repeal of the Stamp Act which would formally happen on March 18.
Eight pages, 8 1/2 by 11 inches, partial red tax stamp on page 2, some stains to the first two leaves, nice condition.
