July 13, 1685
THE LONDON GAZETTE, England, July 13, 1685 Most of the ftpg. is taken up with some great text referencing the battle of Sedgemoor, the first column being a Proclamation prefaced with: "His Majesty has been pleased to cause His Royal Proclamation to be Published for 'A Solemn and Publick Thanksgiving throughout the Kingdom for His Majesties late Victories over the Rebels.' " and what follows is the text of the Proclamation (see photos). Also noteworthy is a ftpg. item concerning the recently captured Duke of Monmouth, reading: "The late Duke of Monmouth & the late Lord Gray being ordered to be brought up hither with the German that was taken with the said late Duke, they are we hear come from Ringwood, & will be this Night at Farnham." Another ftpg. item referencing the battle at Sedgemoor as well (see photos). Complete as a single sheet newspaper, measures 6 1/2 by 11 in., very nice condition.
