AI notes: Mercurius Reformatus, or The New Observator was a 17th-century English periodical that took part in the politically charged pamphlet wars of the time. Likely created in response to earlier publications like The Observator, it aimed to "reform" public discourse by challenging opposing views, often using satire and polemics. It reflected the fierce ideological battles of the era through sharp, partisan journalism.
