THE NEW-YORK GAZETTE; OR THE WEEKLY POST-BOY, December 10, 1753
* Rare title
* Colonial New York
This is an uncommonly early issue from before the French & Indian War with a very decorative masthead (see photos) making it nice for display. Only rarely do we have the opportunity to offer pre-1760 American newspapers.
The entire front page is taken up with: "An Historical Enquiry into the Rights of the English Subjects to the Logwood Trade in America", continued in a future issue.
Page 2 has various reports from Europe, and pg. 3 includes a report from Antigua concerning an encounter with a pirate (see). Among the ads on page 3 is one for "Poor Richard's Almanack" (see) and 3 illustrated ship ads.
complete in 4 pages, very handsome coat-of-arms engraving in the masthead, never-trimmed margins, very nice condition.
