February 05, 1688
THE LONDON INTELLIGENCE, London, England, February 5, 1688-9
* Very rare item
* 17th century original
A single sheet newspaper containing a nice back page petition supporting the ascent to the Throne by the Prince of Orange and "His Royal Consort the Princess". Ironically there is a report from London stating: "The Prayers for the late K. James II are omitted in the Chappel Royal at White Hall, and in many other Churches and Chappels."
This issue features a double-dated year in the dateline, due to the simultaneous use of the Julian and Gregorian calendars at that time. Neat content and great to have in this very rare title which only lasted for 10 issues. Just one institution in the United States holds any issues of this title.
Measures about 12 by 8 inches, with untrimmed margins.
