THE POST-BOY, London, July 4, 1728 

* Rare title

The back page has 2 reports datelined from "Boston", the first with details of a shipwreck, the other a report of an earthquake at Newburyport. Uncommon to find American reports in this title from the 1720's. There is also a report of an indictment for High Treason against: "...the Duke of Wharton for aiding, assisting and abetting the King's enemies...".
Single sheet, 8 1/4 by 13 3/4 inches, two handsome engravings in the masthead, very nice condition.
