* Earliest of newspapers to be had

A very early issue of the world's oldest continually published newspaper, having begun in 1665, and is still publishing today.
A single sheet issue as was typical for the day, filled with reports from various cities throughout Europe. The bkpg. has a small item from Bristol noting: "This day is arrived a vessel that came some time since from New England, and ran a ground..." (see). Very early mention of the "New World" in a newspaper.
Note that by the Julian calendar in use at the time, this newspaper is actually from January of 1667. Great condition, measures 6 3/4 by 11 1/4 inches, slight irregular at the right margin due to the paper-making process and not a flaw. Sufficiently wide margins.
