THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, May 6, 1776 

* Bombardment of Boston by George Washington
* British evacuate Boston in the Revolutionary War

The entire front page is an item headed: "Civil Liberty Asserted...sentinments of this Writer on the Justice of war with America..." (see photos for a portion of it).
Pg. 2 has a report beginning: "General Howe, Commander in Chief of his Majesty's forces in North America, having taken a resolution on the 7th of March to remove from Boston to Halifax..." with more (see photos).
Pg. 3 has a report beginning: "Expect no more letters from Boston. We have quitted that place. Washington played on the town for several days. A shell, which burst whilst we were preparing to embark, did very great damage. Our men have suffered..." with more (see). 

Another page has: "An Award For the Final Settling the Disputes, now unhappily (perhaps fatally) subsisting between the Mother Country & the British Colonies of North America." (see for portions). 

Another page notes: "...a paper, printed in red letters, called the American Gazette, was brought to the Plough Inn in this town & read before a number of tradesmen...who unanimously condemned it to the flames..." with more.

The same page has a terrific account of the bombardment of Boston by Washington (see photos), taking half the page with details on the British evacuation of the town.
The back page has even more on the battle of, and evacuation of Boston (see). 

Complete in 8 pgs., very nice, clean condition, measures about 8 1/2 by 11 inches.

Great to have a Revolutionary War newspaper wtih a 1776 date, & less than 2 months before the Declaration of Independence.
