Small edition of perhaps 20 - 30 copies. Printed wrappers, small 4to, 23 cm, pp [355]-384. Uncommon separate printing: from 1894 twenty copies of any paper printed in the Transactions were presented to the writer, and presumably a few more were run off. A paper read before the Bibliographical Society on Monday, 20 December 1937. Reprinted by the Oxford University Press from the Transactions of the Bibliographical Society, "The Library", 4th series, vol. XVIII, no. 4, March 1938. From the text: "As late as 1680 the judges .declared that the king might prohibit the printing and publishing of all 'newsbooks and pamphlets of news whatsoever not licensed by his Majesty's authority as manifestly tending to the breach of the peace and disturbance of the Kingdom'. The newsbooks with which I shall deal were, therefore, issued under licence, and no English news was suffered to appear in print until the eve of the Civil War when it was no longer possible to enforce the royal prerogative. I shall not deal with these English news-books of 1641 in this paper. I shall confine myself to foreign news, news of the Thirty Years War, and to newsbooks which give general reports of affairs throughout Europe and not particular relations of isolated occurrences. And I shall discuss only publications which are dated." Wrapper edges slightly creased, otherwise Near Very Good. N° de ref. del artículo ABE-51482
