One of three newsbooks with very similar titles, published during the Civil War period. This one, like its successor, concentrated on military news.

Sometimes attributed to John Rushworth; other sources cite Daniel Border as the probable editor, perhaps because he was known to edit the 1645 newsbook with this title. Cf. Williams; Frank.
