[Causes and Necessity of Taking Up Arms]Biblio.com

Virginia Gazette for Thursday July 20 1775.

17753823The complete text of the Causes and Necessity of their Taking Up Arms appears on pages 2 and 3 of the newspaper.The Second Continental Congress convened in Philadelphia on May 10 1775 only about seven months after the First Continental Congress had adjourned. But with the battles at Lexington and Concord occurring in April 1775 hostilities had begun and the Congress needed to act. The action was the issuance on July 6 of the "Causes and Necessity of Taking Up Arms" a pivotal founding document that laid out the colonies' justification for war while making it clear that it was a defensive action and not a declaration of independence.An initial draft of the Causes was rejected by the Congress as being too harsh. Thomas Jefferson and John Dickinson produced the new draft which the Congress approved. In the end the Causes was a masterful blend of airing grievances and reaching out for reconciliation while also clearly stating that independence was on the table if necessary.While the British Parliament was the primary intended audience of the Causes it was also critical that the document satisfy the strongly divided Congress itself. At the time there was extreme tension between those advocating for independence and those in favor of a peaceful reconciliation. The final document provided enough justification to satisfy both sides - and allowed the journey to nationhood to continue to the next watershed moment the Declaration of Independence just a year later.In addition to the important publication of the Causes this issue of the Virginia Gazette includes a brief mention debunking a report of an engagement in the days following that at Bunker Hill. It also prints "General Gage's false and audacious account of the late battle near Boston Bunker Hill."As an aside it should be noted that during 1775 there were three newspapers all named the Virginia Gazette and all published concurrently in Williamsburg. They are easily distinguished by their respective publishers Pinkney in the case of the offered newspaper.A rare and important paper very nicely preserved.Reference: Brigham History and Bibliography of American Newspapers 1690 1820 noting holdings only at Library of Congress and New York Historical Society.Condition: Disbound; untrimmed. Expected age toning. Small ink blot in masthead and a spot of foxing to the first leaf. Overall a very good example.ICN 7811. John Pinkney

The "Vermont" section of the plate was damaged during the process of etching which made it necessary to reduce the size. The plate was cut in half after the second state. Paper: Arms was typical of the artists of this period - he was obsessed with paper a mania for collecting paper that could/would improve an edition. The quantity he left after his death distributed by his wife to fellow artists witnesses his love for finely made paper -paper interesting because of texture color distinctive weave. The earliest paper known to have been used by Arms came from a Baptismal Register Kirchen Ordnung The Reformed Church Middletown Dauphin County Pennsylvania 1708 bought in a bookshop in Philadelphia. His early prints 1915-1919 evidence paper taken from old books with gilded edges. Some prints appear on stationary from the Cisalpine Napoleonic Italy still bearing the estampe of the office or department; others carry penned ink page numbers taken from old ledgers of the Eighteenth Century-all beautiful shades of grey blue and green handmade ribbed and otherwise. Some of his color aquatints were printed on full sheets of heavy chine or Japanese vellum giving a sense of luxury in the richness of the stock and the width of the margins. There was a myriad of modern papers gleaned in England France Italy and the United States. -William Dolan Fletcher A Man For All Times p. 15. unknown
