Lot Description:STARVING CONDITIONS AT BOTANY BAY: THE LONDON CHRONICLE, July 2-5 and 5-7, 1791
These editions carry two short reports from the colony advising of “..almost...starving condition...” and that attempts to establish relations with the natives and that, furthermore, “there seemed very little prospect of ever bringing the scheme to a satisfactory accomplishment.” Other coverage in these editions is heavy in news from the on-going revolution in France, the loss of the supply ship, Neptune while at Greenland, and much news from India.
