THE LONDON EVENING POST, England, Dec. 15, 1778   Over half of page 3 is taken up with reports from the House of Commons, including items relating to the Revolutionary War. One item notes: "General Burgoyne complained very strongly of the indignation that he conceived to be thrown on the army, now under confinement in America, by leaving them out of the augmentation...it was intended to continue toe destructive war in America, to send out part or all of this new force; and that some of the best regiments in Britain and Ireland were ordered already to embark for America, that he should object to because he believe it to be so destructive and ruinous..."
Further on there are comments from Lord George Germain, including: "...The offensive war with America was not to be abandoned for it was looked upon as a necessary, a politic, and  wise measure; to abandon the war with America would be, in effect, to give up the dependency of America...".
And even further on: "Mr. Fox took up the expression of the noble Lord, that the American war was not to be abandoned but to be prosecuted with spirit..." with more.
The back page features a fascinating letter which criticizes the prosecution of the war, a few bits noting: "...Our armies are imprisoned in a few sea port towns or led into captivity because Heaven only propitiates a just & righteous cause. We have lost America...Taxation without consent and unconditional submission without redress are the fundamental axioms of arbitrary power. America, in her own hands, will be the grand instrument, directed by Providence, of destroying civil and ecclesiastical slavery in Europe...".
Four pages, folio size, never-trimmed margins, red tax stamp on page 3, nice condition.
