NEWSPAPER

THE REHEARSAL Numb.108

Printed and Sold By the Booksellers of London and Westminster
1706
This entirely original and complete broadsheet newspaper was written by Charles Leslie , and is in the form of a conversation between "Countryman" and "Observator" (the latter a title written by JohnTutchin). News is not so much reported as discussed in a dialogue, often with pointed attacks on other newspaper authors for their versions of current stories. The paper is in Very Good plus condition, fine apart from tiny stab holes from binding and some light foxing and spots of browning to the fore edge. The paper critically discusses The Flying Post Newspaper and accuses it of attempting to "un-church the Church of England" thus undermining the state .Good knockabout stuff !A very good copy of this early newspaper.
