Item # 704126
March 03, 1783
THE INDEPENDENT LEDGER & THE AMERICAN ADVERTISER, Boston, March 3, 1783 Perhaps the best feature of this issue is the masthead engraving which features a very patriotic theme: "All Hands with One Inflamed Enlightened Heart." signifying the 13 united colonies having a common, patriotic purpose. One of the more patriotic masthead engravings of the Revolutionary War era.
Page 2 begins with a report from the Netherlands noting: "...it was undoubtedly at that so much wished for moment, when, with a unanimous voice, the fathers of the country declared the United States Of America to be free and independent..." with much more.
Also a letter from London concerning how to deal with the Loyalists left in the New York City area. Page 3 has a letter beginning: "The negociations for peace which had been for some time carrying on at Paris, but suspended...have at late been resumed with such seriousness as to promise either a speedy termination of hostilities, or an obstinate continuance of them..." with more on this.
Four pages, archival strengthening at the blank spine, a few small archival mends at the margins, nice condition.
