THE PUBLICK INTELLIGENCER, London, England, May 9, 1659  Here is an early "newspaper", formatted like a pamphlet but actually a news book, the predecessor of today's newspaper.
Interesting content includes a report inside from "St. Sebastian" about the arrival of the "Spanish Gallions" from the West Indies, stating that the vessels "... are safely arrived at Cadiz, very richly laden having brought all the Silver and Merchandizes, which were gathered for these two years...".
Another page has an American-related item, which is an ad that reads: "A Catechism containing the chief Heads of the Christian Religion. Published...for the use of the Church of Christ at New Haven in New England. By John Davenport Pasto, and William Hooke Teacher."
Measures 7 5/8 by 5 1/2 inches, is trimmed a bit close at the bottom, has a minor worm hole in the left margin, otherwise in very good condition. Over 350 years old.
