The '''''Boston Chronicle''''' was an American colonial [[newspaper]] published briefly from December 21, 1767, until 1770 in [[Boston]], [[Massachusetts]]. The publishers, [[John Mein (publisher)|John Mein]] and [[John Fleeming]], were both from [[Scotland]]. The ''Chronicle'' was a [[Loyalist (American Revolution)|Loyalist]] paper in the time before the [[American Revolution]].<br />
<br />
In its second year, Mein printed names in the paper that accused some colonial merchants of breaking a British nonimportation agreement. In response, Mein's name appeared on a list of merchants who violated the trade agreement. Mein retaliated by accusing the Merchants' Committee of using the nonimportation agreement for illegal profiteering. The irritated readership ransacked the offices of the ''Chronicle'', and ultimately, it ceased operations in 1770.<br />
