MERCURIUS BRITANICUS Communicating the Affaires of Great BRITAINE: For the Better Information of the People. London, November 16, 1643. This is Crane & Kaye title #472.
This is a very early newsbook published by Marchamont Nedham who espoused the parliamentary politics of the era, mainly written as a response to the Royalist 'Mercurius Aulicus' of John Birkenhead.
Being from the early period of the English Civil War (1642-1651) it is not surprising that much of the content within is of a military theme. The complete text of this issue can be seen in the photos.
Complete in 8 pages, 5 1/4 by 6 3/4 inches, an archival repair at the blank spine of the last leaf not close to any text, nice condition.
Category: The 1600's and 1700's
