Advocating the cause of American independence and attacking the ministry and the British government. By order of the House of commons no. 3 was publicly burned in Mar. 1775.

"One extra number was issued, called, 'The Crisis. Extraordinary. Wednesday, August 9, 1775.' paged continuously with the regular issues. In all 91 were printed, or 92 including the 'Extraordinary' one ... It seems probable that the paper was edited by William Moore, who previously had carried on two political papers ... of much the same character." cf. The Crisis, by P.L. Ford, in the Bibliographer for Apr. 1902.
