- The New-England courant was a weekly newspaper that ran 1-255, 7 Aug. 1721-25 June 1726, published by James Franklin. Owing to a conflict with the General Court, James was jailed and his paper suspended but, with no. 80, 11 Feb. 1723, it continued publishing under the name of his brother Benjamin; cf. original colophon which reads: Boston: Printed and sold by Benjamin Franklin in Queen Street, where advertisements are taken in.
