THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, March 22, 1763 The back page has a very historic report: "By the King, A Proclamation" which begins: "Whereas a Definitive Treaty of peace and friendship between us, the Most Christian King, and the King of Spain...hath been concluded at Paris on the 10th day of February last, and the ratification thereof have been exchanged..." with more.
This is the Treaty of Paris which ended the French & Indian War. The Proclamation goes on to encourage British subjects to honor the treaty & its condition, and: "... commanding all our loving subject to take notice hereof and to conform themselves there unto accordingly...." with a bit more.
Page 6 begins with a report headed: "America" with a Boston dateline, followed by a report from Charleston, the latter with reports concerning the local Indians.
Eight pages, 8 1/4 by 11 inches, very nice condition.
