THE LONDON EVENING POST, England, May 6, 1777
* American Revolutionary War era
* 18th century - from The Enemy
Page 3 has a few items on the war including: "...the Americans are in great want of salt, cloaths, and flour. An embargo is laid on all the vessels at Boston...to cruise at the mouth of the St. Lawrence in order to intercept General Burgoyne...there was no report of General Washington being dead, nor even ill. That Ticonderoga was not taken...There were no thoughts of a reconciliation, peace being...further off than ever."
Great content on the back page, with more than half of it taken up with a speech from the governor of New Jersey to his Assembly, speaking of the effects of the various recent battles in his colony, signed in type: William Livingston.
Then an interesting list of: "Ministerial Lies" concerning the war, with a list of 17, a few including: "The Congress disunited" "General Washington--dead." "A plague in the middle Colonies" and 14 more as shown in the photos.
This is followed by other content concerning the war.
Four pages, folio size, never-trimmed margins, red tax stamp on page 3, nice condition.
