Four small printed and signed documents issued by the Pay-table Office, State of Connecticut, in Hartford, dated 1781-1785, signed by Moseley, Wadsworth, Wolcott Junior, and Wales, matted and framed together; [together with] The London Magazine, London: for Baldwin, February 1774, with an article mentioning the tea tax, 8 x 5 in. "All America is in a flame on account of the tea exportation. The New Yorkers, as well as the Bostonians and Philadelphians, are, it seems, determined that no tea shall be landed. They have published a paper in numbers, called the Alarm. It begins first with 'Dear Countrymen,' and then goes on exhorting them to open their eyes, and like sons of liberty throw off all connection with the tyrant their mother country. They have on this occasion raised a company of artillery, and every day almost are practising at a target." (See page 103.)
