THE POST BOY, London, September 8, 1724 This very early single sheet newspaper features a great masthead which includes two engravings (see photo). This issue contains news of the day from around the world, mostly in Europe, although the bottom of the front page has a brief report datelined: "Boston in New-England, July 22" which notes that John Gheckley's trial was held for publishing a certain book, and that he was found guilty and sentenced to pay 50 pounds. Rare to find front page mention of news from America in such early newspapers.
