December 30, 1779
THE AMERICAN JOURNAL & GENERAL ADVERTISER, Providence, Rhode Island, December 30, 1779 A truly rare title from the Revolutionary War, as it lasted for less than 1 1/2 years from March, 1779 to August, 1781. This issue is volume 1, number 42
All of the front page, most of pg. 2 & concluded in a future issue is the; "MANIFESTO on the Motives of the Conduct of the King of France Relative to Great Britain". Obviously much concerning relations with America, one bit noting: "...All the world is acquainted...with the many ineffectual steps which the Americans took to regain the affection of their mother country; the manner in which Great Britain rejected them; and lastly, the declaration of independence which was, and necessarily must have been, the result...".
The back page has a notice for reprinting: "Observations on the American Revolution" which includes the beginning: "The efforts of Great Britain to reduce these United States being now almost brought to a period; it is proper that the citizens of America should look over the ground they have trodden..." and at its conclusion: "...Considering our present situation & connections, we cannot but be sensible that the Independence of America is fully secured...".
Four pages, never-trimmed margins, some minor worm holes to the back leaf cause no loss of readability, good condition.
