Independent Chronicle and the Universal Advertiser, dated Thursday, April 3, 1777, Vol. IX, Numb. 450, four pages, 9.5 x 15. Printed in Boston, this issue is brimming with war news, including reports of a number of battles and their associated killed and wounded between October and November of 1776. Page three references the Declaration of Independence in a dispatch from Philadelphia, stating, “The Declaration of Independence has not in the least altered the sentiments of our friends in England, nor diminished their number. Those who are real friends of liberty, now openly avow that the Americans are justifiable in their revolt from Great-Britain,” and also reports the captivating news that England has applied to Russia for troops to quell the rebellion, and that France has vowed never to let that happen. In very good condition, with a central vertical crease, uniform toning with heavier areas along the edges, scattered light soiling and spotting, a few binder holes and small cuts along the left edge, and a faded name penned in ink at the top.
