GREEN & RUSSELL'S BOSTON POST-BOY & ADVERTISER, June 18, 1759  This is one of the less common colonial titles we have offered. A very handsome masthead with two ornate engravings, one of a sailing ship & the other of a horse-mounted post boy delivering the news.

Additional French & Indian War reports are on page 3 as well, as seen in the photos.
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, various foxing throughout and minor wear. Generally in nice condition.
