January 29, 1649
A BRIEFE RELATION OF SOME AFFAIRES AND TRANSACTIONS, CIVILL AND MILITARY, BOTH FORRAIGNE AND DOMESTIQUE, London, England, January 29, 1649
* Very rare 17th century item
* A wonderful newsbook from the mid-1600's
These early "newsbooks" as they were called, were the immediate predecessors of today's newspapers, being rather small in size (measures about 5 by 6 3/4 inches) and usually with anywhere from 4 to 24 pages. This is a 16 page issue. Published during the exciting "Civil War" period in British history, this issue is filled with various military reports.
Close-trimmed at the right margin causes some trimming of the last letter or two on 8 of the 16 pages, and some minor chipping affects some letters as well. Certainly one of the more rare of the newsbook titles and the first we have offered in several years.
