* Rare colonial title
* Pre revolutionary war
* Great masthead engraving

A lengthy discourse containing such comments as: "To deny that the parliament of Great-Britain have any right to dispose of our acquired property, and at the same to assert their power to restrain our natural liberty, is really advancing such a paradox in policy, as I shall never attempt to reconcile." Takes all of the front page and concludes on page 2, signed in type: A Citizen.

Page 2 news under Boston mentions: "...that the account of the manufactures now carrying on with so great a spirit in America, hath spread a universal alarm among all the ranks of people in Great-Britain. Another item says: Soon after the meeting of the P------t, Mr.----produced some American news papers which he said contained doctrines of a dangerous, and alarming tendency, and proposed that the printer should be sent for, and the author enquired after..".

Page 3 has various news under "Philadelphia", and there is an attached broadside "Postscript" containing an extract of a ship journal which describes some of the hardships endured on a recent voyage, plus news under "Charles-Town" and a few ads.

Has a very nice woodcut in the masthead. A four page issue plus the before mentioned broadside which is still attached, has some foxing in the margins, is rejoined inside at the spine with a type of masking tape, broadside has a few minor edge tears, one slightly affecting an ad.
