December 31, 1784
FOWLE'S NEW HAMPSHIRE GAZETTE & GENERAL ADVERTISER, Portsmouth,
Dec. 31, 1784 A quite uncommon and very early newspaper from New
Hampshire, rarely offered today. The inside pages have various news
of the day with foreign reports on pg. 2 & "American
Intelligence" on pg. 3, including an interesting item of a negro may
who ran away from his master and has come up with a document certifying
his freedom (see photo). Various ads scattered throughout as well. Very
irregular at the spine margin with some loss but affecting little text.
Much foxing & some ink stains to the back page, a few small wear
holes. Never bound nor trimmed, complete in 4 pages.
