DAILY POST, London, November 17, 1731
* Attempt to kill the King and Queen
* 18th century UK original
On the front page under "London" is a report that says: "On Monday Night last a Tobacconist near the Church of St. Clement Danes, was committed to Newgate by a Warrant...for laying a Barrel of Gun Powder under a Bridge near Parsons-Green, with Intent to have blown up their Majesties as they pass'd over from Hampton-Court to St. James's."
Some other European news and ads with a red tax stamp on the reverse side.
A single sheet, text "tilts" to the left, some lite foxing in the margins, binding residue in the right margin on the reverse, otherwise good.
