Contents include an "Address to the Americans by the Author of the Farmer's Letters" being the famed John Dickinson & which contains some terrific text, beginning: "In the great & important question now before us, my countrymen, a question on which the liberty or bondage, the weal or woe, of millions now, & tens of millions hereafter, will depend, it is incumbent on us to study the most perfect unanimity in sentiment & action. Like a band of brothers these colonies should be indissolubly firm in defending the sacred fire of freedom from being extinguished..." with much more.
Yet another page has "An American Petition to the King's Most Excellent Majesty" concerning thanks for repealing the Stamp Act & which takes over a full pg. Another pg. has 4 engravings of a "Medallic Account of Martin Luther" (see photos).
