THE NEW-HAMPSHIRE GAZETTE, AND HISTORICAL CHRONICLE, Portsmouth, New Hampshire, December 18, 1767
* Colonial New Hampshire
Newspapers from colonial New Hampshire are exceedingly rare and therefore quite desirable among collectors.
Here is such a title from the city of Portsmouth that has an ornate engraving in the masthead.
Content includes a fascinating ftpg. narrative from the sole survivor of a sinking ship and then as a survivor of another ship described as a "castaway". Takes all of the ftpg., and concludes on pg. 2.
A pg. 2 report talks about the "Cat Skin" business used to make muffs and tippets.
A pg. 3 item under "Boston" says: "A considerable number of our respectable ladies have agreed...that they will not use any Foreign Teas from the 10th of Dec. Inst. to the 10th of December 1768."
Stray writing above the masthead, some fold rubbing on the ftpg., small hole in the first leaf, some foxing.
