(NEW YORK CITY.) The New-York Gazette. Number 130. 4 pages, 12 x 7 1/2 inches, on one sheet; minor wear, stitch holes; name of subscriber John Chambers in top margin. (JMR) New York: William Bradford, 22 April 1728
Another early issue of New York's first newspaper. Features news of the arrival of John Montgomerie, the new governor of New York and New Jersey. This is accompanied by a welcome address by the mayor of Perth Amboy, described by the mayor as "a City yet but small, tho' the capital of a considerable Province, which entertains hopes of growing greater." This issue declared missing by Stokes in 1916 (Iconography, II:431), though another copy has since surfaced.
