Item # 703648
August 10, 1767
PENNSYLVANIA CHRONICLE & UNIVERSAL ADVERTISER, Philadelphia, Aug. 10, 1767 A fine, colonial newspaper offering a flavor of life in America during the tumultuous period shortly after the Stamp Act, during the hated Quartering Act & Townshend Acts era, and before tensions would boil over with the Boston Massacre of 1770, the Tea party in 1773 and the resulting Revolutionary War.
Referring to the Quartering Act, page 2 has a brief tie noting: "...all the southern provinces had acceded to the orders of government for making the necessary provisions for quartering the military. We hear that orders are sent to the different ports for compleating with all expedition the men of war ordered for immediate service...".
This newspaper was a primary means of voicing the anti-British sentiment that was rapidly spreading throughout the colonies. It gained much notoriety when Goddard printed an article supporting the Boston Tea Party, causing the British to heavily tax it for delivery and eventually refuse to deliver it, driving it out of business in early 1774.
Four pages, folio size, very ornate coat-of-arms engraving in the masthead, very nice condition.
