April 23, 1767
THE PENNSYLVANIA GAZETTE, Philadelphia, Apr. 23, 1767  Pages 2 & 3 contain a letter from England which begins: "I am informed that the ministry do not intend to take into consideration the supplying the colonies with a paper currency unless strongly urged to it by the American merchants..." with much more, including such comments: "...address of the New York Assembly...made a great noise...throughout this Kingdom...insomuch that it is generally said they are in a state of rebellion, and are endeavouring to throw off their dependence...the Ministry are in a great & deep concern about it---most people are of opinion they will certainly enforce the execution of the Act of Parliament, & to that end will send over troops..." with more. Interesting reading on what is a prelude to the Revolutionary War.
A wealth of ads, many quite detailed. This issue is in very nice, clean condition with just a few minor foxing spots. Uncommonly nice. Handsome coat-of-arms engraving in the masthead, very nice condition.
