THE GLOCESTER JOURNAL, England (now spelled Gloucester), Dec. 12, 1768  Various British news reports throughout, with its finest feature being the handsome masthead with two detailed engravings and the ornate lettering. This is from the period when the troubling relationship between England and America was coming to a head. The Boston Massacre would be less than 2 years away.
Page 2 has one paragraph noting: "By letters from Boston...we hear that the utmost tranquility reigns in the province of Massachusetts bay, occasioned by the deportment of the land forces who lately arrived there, who behave to the inhabitants with the utmost cordiality: that Mr. Cushing and Mr. Otis have retired into the country, and have lost a great deal of their popularity."
Four pages, full red tax stamp on the front page, very nice condition.
