Item Details

Description

The Town and Country Magazine; or, Universal Repository of Knowledge, Instruction, and Entertainment. London: A. Hamilton, April 1770. 56pp plus 2 engravings, 5.5 x 8.25 in.

An important account of the Boston Massacre by the American patriots and revolutionaries John Hancock, Sam Adams, and others!

Town and Country Magazine was one of the leading news magazines of the 18th and 19th centuries, covering everything from world news, politics, science, and math to essays, opinion, poetry and fiction from leading writers. This edition is remarkable for containing one of the most important contemporary accounts of the Boston Massacre, entry No. 24 in the section "Domestic Intelligence" on pp. 222-223. It begins, "The following report of the committee of the town of Boston, transmitted to governor Pownal, is the only authentic account of the late tumult there.." ends signed in print by the Committee of the town of Boston, including John Hancock, Sam Adams, Joseph Warren, and others. The Bostonians contempt for the British army's presence is clear throughout the article, with the committee reporting "...they landed in town with all the appearance of hostility..have been continuing their enormities by abusing the people...and even firing upon the inhabitants in the street..."with the intent "to bring us into a state of bondage and ruin, in direct repugnance to those right which belong to us as men and as British subjects..."
