Wealth of discussion in Parliament on the worthiness of the Revolutionary War...
Item # 703269
January 25, 1776
THE NEW-ENGLAND CHRONICLE O ESSEX GAZETTE, Cambridge, Massachusetts, Jan. 25, 1776 The entire front page and almost half of page 2 are taken up with reports from the House of Commons, much of the discussion relating to the war with the American colonies. One bit notes in part: "...England was never engaged in a contest of such importance to our most valuable concerns and possessions. We are fighting for the subjection of a country...Success seems to me not equivocal, but impossible...an appeal has been made to the sword & at the close of the last campaign what have we conquered? Bunker's Hill with the loss of 1200 men. Are we to pay as dearly for the rest of America? The idea of conquest is as romantic as unjust..." with much, much more.
Additional war reports inside including some details on General Montgomery's attack upon Quebec.
Four pages, never-trimmed margins, nice condition.
