- Lot Description
Pennsylvania Chronicle and Universal Advertiser, Philadelphia, PA, July 24 to July 31, 1769. 8pp, 9.5 x 11.75 in. Containing a p.6 report, which states that the merchants of New Haven, CT have agreed “…that the measures agreed upon by the merchants of Boston and New York …to restrict the importation of goods from Great Britain until the act of Parliament laying duties on paper, glass, etc. shall be repealed…and we concur in opinion with our brethren in the other colonies that it is our duty to exert ourselves by all lawful means to maintain our constitutional rights…not to be taxed but by our own consent or that of our representatives…” This was the American Colonies’ response to the Townshend Act taxes passed by Great Britain.
The issue also contains a news report noting that the armed British sloop Liberty, originally owned by John Hancock, was seized & converted to a tender by the commissioners of the customs. This was to go down in American history as the “Liberty Affair.” HMS Liberty was burned in July 1769 by American colonists in Newport, RI, as one of the first overt American acts of defiance against the British government.
With additional reporting on the American Colonies and their resistance to British taxation.
