An account of the commencement of hostilities between Great-
Britain and America...[column 1 and then in col. 2, 34
lines] Before Major Pitcairn arrived at Lexington signal
guns had been fired, and the bells had been rung to give the
alarm; but let not the sound of bells lead you to think of a
ring of bells like what you hear in England; for they are
only small small sized bells, one in a parish, just
sufficient to notify to the people the time for attending
worship, &c.. . . [11 lines] the men were dismissed, to
appear again at the beat of drum.[59 lines to end of col.].
