Revolutionary War

May, 1777     

"...On the other hand, they were unanimous in declaring, that they never would give up those rights and liberties which, as they said, descended to them from their ancestors, and which they said they were bound by all laws, human and divine, to transmit whole and pure to their posterity; that they are entitled to all the rights and liberties of British born subjects; that the power lastly assumed by parliament is unjust, and the only cause of the present uneasiness; and that the late acts respecting the capital and province of Massachusett's-Bay, are unconstitutional, oppressive, and dangerous."

One month, original, detached with some historic Revolutionary War material including New York, Boston, Continental Congress, Delegates, Colonies, General Gage, Massachusett's Bay, Philadelphia, George Washington, troops, rebels, lack of food, Delaware, &c. There is another month attached at rear, it is incomplete (at both ends a bit, a few pages), and without a title page, seems to be May, 1774 -....has much Parliamentary discussion including a great deal about the American colonies and tea, a page about the benefits of inoculation for smallpox, and some good lengthy Captain Cook content as well, this "bonus" month has more age-wear than the May 1777 issue, some staining throughout, some dog-earing to the 1777 as well.
