July 31, 1756
THE MONITOR OR BRITISH FREEHOLDER, London, England, July 31, 1756 

* Rare title w/ nice masthead

See the photo for the decorative wood engraving in the masthead which features three themes: farming, sailing, and industry. Contains 6 pages, and is entirely an editorial-format newspaper. This was the time of the French & Indian War in America, however none of the discussion in this issue focuses on this topic even though there are at least two mentions of America, one on the front page.
Measures 7 by 11 3/4 inches, light dirtiness to the front & back pages, a few very small rubbing holes do not affect readability.
