Item # 701468
October 07, 1760
THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, Oct. 7, 1760  A very historic issue from the French & Indian War as it covers the surrender of Montreal to the British.
Beginning on the front page is: "Duplicate of a Letter from Major General Amherst...dated Camp at Fort William Augustus, August 26, 1760..." which begins: "I shall now give you an account of the progress of his Majesty's troops under my immediate command...On the 9th of July I arrived at Oswego..." with much detail on his actions before Montreal. This is followed by another letter from Amherst dated Sept. 8 which reports the capture of Montreal. Included as well are the various correspondences between Amherst & the Marquis de Vaudreuil negotiating the surrender.
This is then followed by the: "Articles of Capitulation between...Gen. Amherst, Commander in Chief of His Britannick Majesty's Troops...and his Excellency the Marquis de Vaudreuil...Governor & Lt. General for the King in Canada" which includes all 55 Articles & signed in type by both Jeff. Amherst, and Vaudreuil. This text takes over half of the issue.
Eight pages, 8 by 10 3/4 inches, very nice condition.

Item from last month's catalog - #364 - released for March, 2026.
