Guadeloupe described in great detail...



Item # 697897

March 10, 1759

THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, March 10, 1759  Page 5 is entirely taken up with: "A Description and Natural History of the Island of Guadeloupe" in the Caribbean.
Page 6 has reports headed: "America" with datelines from Charleston, and Providence, Rhode Island. The former reports in part on deserters, one of whom: "...concealed in some oakum on board a vessel...they designed to go off privately in the night for St. Augustine, whence there is great reason to suspect they intended to have proceeded to Mississippi."
The latter reports some secretive trading with the French.
Eight pages, 8 1/2 by 11 1/4 inches, never bound nor trimmed, very nice condition.
