January 02, 1769
THE GLOCESTER JOURNAL, England (now spelled Gloucester), Jan. 2, 1769  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.
The front page has nearly a half page headed: "America" with Phila. and Boston datelines. Page 2 has more news items headed: "America" with a Charleston dateline focused on the fine production of produce.
Four pages, full red tax stamp on the front page, very nice condition.
