[PRE-REVOLUTIONARY WAR]. The Boston Chronicle. Vol. I, No. 51. Boston, MA: Mein and Fleeming, 5 December 1768.

4pp., folio, 8 1/4 x 10 1/2 in. Disbound (scattered spotting, few stains, some toning to margins, chipping to edges).

A colonial American newspaper containing the printing of an extract from a letter sent by a merchant in Boston to his correspondent in London. In the letter, the Boston merchant complains about the British taxes on glass and tea (the Townshend Acts) being the ruination of the American Colonies' commerce. This issue marks the American opposition to the Townshend Acts, a step along the "road" to the onset of the Revolutionary War.
