Ad for a book on the trial of Quakers at Philadelphia...
ATHENIAN MERCURY, London, England, Nov. 28, 1693 This was a fine gentleman's newspaper which was very popular in the coffeehouses of early England. Interesting reading on a wide range of topics. It was done in question/answer format.
The back page has an advertisement for the book: "The Tryals of Several Quakers for Great Misdemeanors before a Court of Quakers, ate the Sessions held at Philadelphia in Pensilvania, the 9th, 10th and 12th days of December, 1692".
A single sheet printed on both sides, 7 1/4 by 12 1/4 inches, very nice condition.
