When, two generations later, another Archbishop placed the crown on the head of George III, there were local weekly newspapers in 29 English towns. Between these two events, during the reigns of Anne and the first two Georges, scores and scores of newspapers sprang into being in country towns all over England. This book gives an account of that rapid development in early journalism.' |
