Imprint varies.

Imprint below caption title and chronological designation.

This is one of the longest running of several newsbooks with the same title; "between June and December [1642], ten separate series adopted [this title] ... in one form or another." - Frank. This edition apparently printed by John Clowes. Cf. Frank; Plomer.

This record subsumes all editions (including counterfeits and rival editions, etc.) of individual issues of this title, as recorded by Nelson & Seccombe. There are four issues of no.14 (12-19 Sept. 1642), two of which are counterfeits with imprints reading respectively: "Printed for Wall: Cook and Rob: Woodner"; "Printed for Walt. Cook and Robert Woody." The latter imprint appears on a counterfeit of no.15 (19-26 Sept. 1642). As a response to these counterfeits the genuine newsbook adds the phrase, "to prevent all false copies, under their names," to the imprints of all issues from no.15 to 51.

A second edition of this title was produced for many issues from no.28 (19-26 Dec. 1642) onwards, with a woodcut of Parliament in session (also used by Francis Coles on his competing paper with the same title) surrounding the title, and a factotum initial at the beginning of the text. From no.29 the imprint of this edition reads: Printed by R. Austin, and A. Coe, for Walt. Cook, and Robert Wood, and are to be sold by Thomas Bates in the Old Baily. Most sources record these issues as genuine, although the Austin and Coe issues were not entered in the Stationers' Register. Cf. NCBEL; Plomer; Nelson and Seccombe.

First known issue of this title is no. [7].

Description based on: [No. 7] (From the twenty five of July, to the first of August: 1642); title from caption.

Signatures are continuous.

Numbering begins with no.8 (1-8 Aug. 1642).

Most issues appear with duplicate numbers and irregular dates as there are two editions as well as several counterfeits and imitations.
