Item # 680128

December 10, 1666

THE LONDON GAZETTE, England, Dec. 10, 1666

* Among the earliest of newspapers to be had
* Early report re. America - Boston Harbor


 Issues of this very famous title--the world's oldest continually published English language newspaper--from the year of the Great Fire of London and the final year of the Great Plague, are quite rare.
The front page has a report: "On Friday night last was driven into this harbor, the Exchange of Boston, in New-England, laden with tobacco sugar, and some beaver, much damaged by ill weather."
Complete as a single sheet newspaper, 7 by 11 1/4 inches, very nice condition.
