June 27, 1661
MERCURIUS PUBLICUS, London, England, June 27, 1661 The longer titles also includes: "Comprising The Sum of all Affairs Now in Agitation in England, Scotland, and Ireland, Together with Forraign Intelligence for Information of the People, and to Prevent False News." Here is an uncommon title in newsbook format (the forerunner of newspapers).
The issue is taken up with reports from all corners of Europe, much of it having a military theme.
This is lacking the back half so present are 8 of the 16 pages. This issue was never bound nor trimmed so the margins are quite wide and the issue folds out to one large sheet. Not sure we have had such a newsbook issue before. Measures 7 by 9 inches. Priced dramatically less being a defective issue.
