Very early, short-lived, colonial newspaper...
THE INDEPENDENT REFLECTOR, New York, July 12, 1753
- Rare Colonial New York original
- Short lived publication
This rare newspaper lasted for less than one year, publishing but 52 issues. Primarily moral and political essays, it gave offense to men in power and was "suppressed by authorities", as Brigham relates.
A fine opportunity to purchase at a reasonable price a very early issue--over 265 years old--by James Parker from the colonial press of New York. American titles from the 1750's are rarely found.
Four pages, 6 3/4 by 10 3/4 inches, a bit of foxing, nice condition.
