1794-1797 THE LONDON CHRONICLE. New York Threatens to Attack England - Taxation WITH Representation Flex.

A very nicely preserved early assembled sammelband of The London Chronicle, comprised of 15 issues, ranging from April of 1794 to September of 1797 and including some excellent content, especially concerning New York's intent to raise an army to attack Great Britain.

Contents include: An Account of the Attempted Conspiracy for a Mass Murder of National Representatives in France to Inspire a New Commitment to the Monarchy, “to erect the throne of despotism on the mangled corpses of true patriots.” An extensive series; Efforts of American to Protect from Algerine ships; Raising of An Army of Free-Masons [Freemasonry] in Ireland under Lord Donoughmore – Grand Master; Many Articles on the Volunteer Corps Bill; The Covent Garden Theatre with Reviews; A Riot at the Edinburgh Theatre [The Tragedy of Charles I]; Revolts at Barbados and Jamaica [slavery]; Cultivation of Sugar in Bengal; Review of The Protestant Dissenters’ Magazine; The Total Destruction of the Island of Martinique [Hurricane]; etc.,

Important account of the New York Resolutions that threaten war against Great Britain. A lengthy, full account of the Resolutions published in New York accusing the British of continuing a soft and “third party” war against the United States, its commerce, etc, . . . “Resolved, that the conduct of Great Britain, since the treaty of peace with the United States of America, has not been conformable to the true intent and making of that treaty; but on the contrary, by withholding the posts on our North Western frontier, and keeping up a military establishment within our territory, the government of Great Britain has violated their national faith, and usurped the rights of our people; that the non fulfilment of this part of the treaty on the part of Great Britain the citizens of New York, jealous for the honour, and willing to support the dignity of their country, will cheerfully submit to any tax which in the wisdom of their Representatives may appear necessary to defray the expense attending the support of our independence as a nation, the honour of the flag, and the dignity of our country and government.”

In other words, our “taxation WITH representation” will raise as much money as it takes to pay troops and kick your Union Jack’s all the way back to London.
