February 07, 1758

THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, Feb. 7, 1758 Pages 2 and 3 are almost entirely taken up with a very lengthy and detailed report titled; "Memoirs of the Principal Transactions of the last War between the English and French in North America, from the Commencement of it in 1744, to the Conclusion of the Treaty at Aix la Chapelle; Containing, in Particular, an Account of the Importance of Nova Scotia, or Acadia, and the Island of Cape Breton, to both Nations".
This treaty ended the War of the Austrian Succession in Europe, a portion of which involved control of land in Northeast Canada.
This article is an excellent account of the effects of the treaty on North America.
The report ends with: "...If ever Great Britain should receive such a blow in her American dominions, it would be in vain to hope to retrieve it by her superior naval force...little doubt can be made that the present superiority of the naval force of Great Britain to that of France would survive the loss of her colonies but a few years."
Eight pages, 8 1/4 by 11 1/4 inches, very nice condition.
