Near the back is the "Domestic Intelligence" which includes nearly a full page on the situation in America from just before the outbreak of the Revolutionary War (see). Included near the beginning is: "The affairs of the American still ingross the chief attention...No decisive stroke has as yet been struck, & general Gage's planting a battery at the entrance of Boston has not, as we have yet learnt, produced any hostile effects..." with much more (see).
This issue has two of the three plates called for. Complete in 54 pages, 5 by 8 1/4 inches, in great condition with full title/index page.
