July 23, 1689
A CONTINUATION OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE PARLIAMENT IN SCOTLAND, London, England, July 23, (1689) 

* Very rare 18th century title 

The year is noted in the dateline of the first report at the top of page 1 (see photos), as well as in the imprint at the bottom of the back page. A very rare newspaper from England, other titles existing but which have slightly different wording, dealing primarily with Parliamentary affairs.

Included is a portion sent in Olde English type (unusual) which notes in part: "...That last week there were shipp'd at Carrick-fergus in Ireland, a considerable number of Irish forces & other intestine Rebels...without doubt are before this time landed in some of the islands near Innerlochy..." with more, and ending with: "...Where it's hoped they may soon defeat and exterminate those barbarous and cruel invaders." (see photos)

A single sheet issue with untrimmed margins, measures 7 by 11 1/4 inches, very nice, clean condition.
