Reproduction of the originals from the Burney Collection, the British Library (London).
One of the "three 'grand' Royalist weeklies of 1647," begun by John Cleveland and Samuel Sheppard, but chiefly written by Marchamont Nedham during 1648 and part of 1649. Cf. Frank; Williams.
Title from caption.
Place and date of publication from Nelson & Seccombe.
Counterfeit issues of this newsbook appeared at random during its entire run, beginning with the second issue.
Most regular issues begin with a title page poem in rhymed quatrains, signed with Nedham's motto: "Nemo me impune lacessit," and ended with a rhymed couplet. The later counterfeits also used Nedham's motto, but most lacked the end couplet and their title page poems were either not in quatrains or failed to scan.
Signed.
