Bostonians respond, patriotically, to the Royal Governor's speech...



Item # 701416

February 10, 1773

THE PENNSYLVANIA GAZETTE, Philadelphia, Feb. 10, 1773  The entire front page and most of page 2 are taken up with the response of John Hancock, Sam Adams, & others to the Mass. governor's recent speech. It is very patriotic in tone, noting near the beginning: "...We fully agree with your Excellency, that our own happiness, as well as his Majesty's service, very much depends upon peace and order; and we shall at all times take such measures as are consistent with our Constitution, and the rights of the people, to promote & maintain them..." with so much more.
A few items on page 3 as well.
Four pages, slightly irregular at the margins, light staining on the back leaf causes no loss of readability, generally good condition.

Item from our most recent catalog - #360, released for November, 2025
