Description
|
The newspapers, pamphlets, and books gathered by the Reverend Charles Burney (1757-1817) represent the largest and most comprehensive collection of early English news media. The collection totals almost 1 million pages and contains approximately 1,270 titles, including the Tatler (1709-1711); the Spectator (1711-1712); English provincial titles, Irish newspapers (the earliest being the Dublin Intelligence of 1691), Scottish ones from 1708 onwards, and many 18th-century American ones too, including the New England Courant. Many pamphlets and broadsides included have remained largely hidden until now.
