Rivington’s New-York Gazetteer: or, the Connecticut, Hudson’s River, New Jersey, and Quebec Weekly Advertiser, New York, NY, March 17, 1774. 4pp, 11.25 x 18.25 in. Exquisitely rare American Colonial newspaper title in and of itself. In addition, the issue contains inside page news from Boston regarding the Boston Tea Party being repeated on one Captain Gorham’s tea ship loaded with East India Tea. The American colonists had previously thrown the “detested tea” into Boston harbor in December 1773 and repeated this act of protest on March 7 to keep the tea from being unloaded and thus taxed in the American Colonies. The report refers to the previous Boston Tea Party actions as well. Condition: Crease in top right corner of issue. Few light spots throughout, especially in margins. Few tears that have been reinforced with Scotch tape, including diagonal tear on page 3/4, extending inward from lower right corner of page. Reinforced with thin cardstock along central vertical fold (back page).
