Introduction: Library of Congress, American Memory Page: Created/published: Philadelphia, 1765. The Library of Congress American Memory site notes that this document was printed on November 7, 1765, as issue no. 1924, of the Pennsylvania Gazette, but without the usual identifying information of a newspaper, such as date, masthead, or number. A week before, publishers David Hall and Benjamin Franklin had announced they were suspending publication to protest the act. Printing sheets such as this one, with no identifying markers, enabled them to meet readers' needs and protect their firm from persecution. |
