THE OLD WHIG, OR THE CONSISTENT PROTESTANT, London, April 21, 1736  

* Very rare publication
* Early 18th century British original

This is a very rare title, publishing for only 4 years with various news reports from Europe. There is a brief item on the back page noting: "...advice by a letter from South Carolina of the death of the Rev. Mr. John Fullerton, lately missionary at Christ Church: he died very much lamented not only by his parishioners but by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance...".
Four pages, full red tax stamp on the front page, wide, never-trimmed margins, great condition.

Background: The Old Whig, or The Consistent Protestant was a British political newspaper from the late 18th and early 19th centuries that promoted traditional Whig principles, including constitutional monarchy, Protestantism, and opposition to radical reform and Jacobinism. Created in reaction to the French Revolution, it aligned with conservative thinkers like Edmund Burke, defending established institutions such as the Church of England and the British parliamentary system. The publication distinguished itself from more radical "New Whigs" by emphasizing stability, religious loyalty, and moderate reform within a Protestant national identity.
