John Underwood - Rare and Antiquarian Books and Manuscripts

This entirely original issue of the paper is printed on both sides of two pages. Each of the four pages is printed in six columns, and the paper is in nice condition without major flaws apart from weakness with minor loss at the spine and stab holes from disbinding. All of the tax stamp is showing on the front page . Of special interest are the front page advertisements which are very interesting and lend the paper to framing for display.There are ads for inclosures at FELTWELL and STOW BEDON and many auctions .On the second page is a good advert for the Norwich Grand Musical Festival- more than 12 column inches with the performers listed as Madame Catalani,Miss Stephens, Miss Booth,Mr Braham,Mr Garbett,Mr Tinney and Mr Welsh . Page three has a good article on the meeting of local Millers led by MR WILKIN of COSSEY , with some lively events including hanging in effigy and fire and faggot burnings of the same. Simon Wilkin writes a long and lively letter too . Some vulgar and mischievous hand bills and songs are also reported .There are of some areas of light toning but the paper is very readable and packed with local and international interest .

condition: Very Good
