THE FREE BRITON, London, June 26, 1735
* Rare title... 18th century original...
This is issue number 294 of this title as well as its last, as the note at the bottom of the back page reads: "The continuation of this paper will proceed in a new Daily Paper, which will make its appearance the beginning of next week." (see). Plus, one of the banner heads on the front page notes: "Some Account of the Alternation Intended to take Place Next Week in the Manner of Publishing this Paper." Over half of the first column is the publisher's discussion of starting a new newspaper after nearly 6 years with this title.
Single sheet, 8 by 13 inches, never-trimmed margins, some loss at the top not affecting text, red tax stamp.
