THE ATHENIAN MERCURY, London, February 21, 1693  This was a fine gentlemen's newspaper which was very popular in the coffeehouses of early England. Interesting reading on a wide range of topics & one of the earliest periodicals in English. Partially in question/answer format.
The back page has an advertisement for the book: "The late TRYALS of Several  WITCHES In New-England" by Cotton Mather. This is the only periodical that I have ever seen with any reference to the famous Witch Trials at Salem, Massachusetts.
A unique and very uncommon item! A quarto-size singlesheet with a few lite dampstains, otherwise in nice condition.
