Starting with 1767, we are transcribing and re-printing old news. Very old news. Each paper is a marvelous, and local, insight into the character of 18th Century New England. In order to preserve the clarity of the text, we have manually type-set each issue, as opposed to using image copies. While not printed on an 18th century press, it is a reasonable facsimile of the orginal, printed on good stock.
It's a great present for the history buff, or the teacher in your family. Buy individual issues, (mailed to U.S. residents only) for $3.95 each, or buy a yearly subscription of 12 issues (one a month) for $42.95. Starting with the year 1767, we will reprint one issue from each calendar year every month.
Catch up on the great issues of liberty, hotly debated between 1767 and 1779!
