Description

London: Printed by Thomas Harrison [later: Edward Johnston] in Warwick Lane, 2/5 January to 25/28 December 1790.. A slightly broken run of over 90 issues encompassing (with exceptions noted below) whole numbers 13163 through 13268. Small folio. Chiefly 4 or 8pp per number. Extracted, with residue of old binding along spine; moderate tide-mark in lower margin through first half of volume, revenue stamps as usual, occasional marginal discolorations limited to individual issues; still, good and crisp. A close to full year's issues of the original official newspaper of record in England. It was founded in November 1665, while the Court was resident in Oxford due to the plague in London, and the early numbers appeared as the OXFORD GAZETTE. Shortly after the Court returned to London, beginning with whole number 24, the name was altered to reflect the change, and it persisted through the following centuries as the publisher of official information in regard to politics, business, public notices, elections and promotions, etc. As a primary record of Britain's affairs, both at home and abroad, at peace and at war, it remains invaluable. Issues not present here, or imperfect: 13162, 13172, 13188 (imperfect), 13196, 13205, 13224, 13237 (imperfect), 13248, and 13253. CRANE & KAYE 665. NCBEL II:1315-6.
