"A continuation, without change of volume numbering, of Holt's 'New York Journal' which was suspended at New York City in August, 1776, because of the occupation of the city by the British. The paper was removed to Kingston, where it was revived with the issue of July 7, 1777, no. 1757 . . . The last Kingston issue was that of Oct. 13, 1777, no. 1771, and four days later the town was burned by the British. The paper was then removed to Poughkeepsie"--Brigham, page 592-3. This uncommon issue reports news of a battle with Washington's army at Chad's Ford, the British movement toward Philadephia, extracts from a British paper on votes in Parliament concerning the Revolution, and other war-related matters.<
