March 07, 1719
THE WEEKLY JOURNAL OR SATURDAY'S POST, London, March 7, 1719
* Jacobite Rebellion - Pretender
* Great masthead engraving
* Early 18th century original
This title has one of the more beautiful & intricately engraved mastheads to be had, and is a nice display issue as such.
Various news items from Europe including a page 2 mention that: "...letters from several parts of France mention also the news of the taking the Pretender, but they disagree so much in their accounts of the particulars that it gives some people room to question the truth...". This was the son of King James II who claimed title to the throne after the death of his father, resulting in the Jacobite Rebellion.
Present are all 6 pages, as more typically the back leaf is lacking as it was often loose from pages 1-4 (there was no tax on 4 page newspapers at the time). Measures 8 1/2 by 13 1/2 inches, minor dirtiness to the front page, nice condition.
