December 26, 1768
THE BOSTON CHRONICLE, Massachusetts, Dec. 26, 1768 The publisher of this newspaper had Loyalist leanings, causing its demise before the formal outbreak of the Revolutionary War.
All of pages 1 & 2 are taken up with a continued report on: "Voltaire on History". Page 3 has: "The Opinions of the Ministers of the colony of the Massachusetts...upon this question--Whether to Surrender the charter, or suffer judgment to go against it?" (see for portions), and further on is: "The Speech of His Excellency William Tryon...Commander in Chief in & over the Province of North Carolina". Other politically-related reports as well.
Eight pages, 8 1/4 by 10 1/2 inches, scattered foxing, nearly close-trimmed on the first leaf, nice condition. A nice opportunity for a colonial Boston newspaper at an attractive price.
