1728D11085Boston: S. Kneeland & T. Green 1728. Ephemera. Very Good. Single leaf printed on the recto and verso; 195 x 312 mm; mounted to larger album leaf. Some marginal paper repairs one of them eliminating just a few letters of text. A few short tears and small losses. The New England Weekly Journal was started in 1727 a publication similar to Londons The Spectator. Notable here are the slaves ads that close out the information on the verso. One advertisement reads: A very likely Negro girl about 13 or 14 years of Age speaks good English has been in the country some years to be sold inquire of the Printer hereof. A chilling reminder of how commonplace such language once was. <br/><br/> S. Kneeland & T. Green unknown books
