DECLARATION OF THE CESSATION OF ARMS – The Continental Journal and Weekly Advertiser. Boston: Printed by John Gill, in Court-Street, 10 April 1783, No. 373.
An early, if not first, printing in the United States of the Declaration of the Cessation of Arms as proclaimed by John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and John Jay in Paris. Although the text of the Declaration of the Cessation of Arms as proclaimed by George III on 14 February 1783 arrived in print in Philadelphia on the same date (see Pennsylvania Packet, 10 April 1783), the version as proclaimed in Paris by Franklin, Adams and Jay was first printed in Boston. Page two of this issue also prints the full text of the Treaty of Paris.
4 pages, folio (390 x 250mm). (Some toned spots.)
