Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. The Cornmarket Press published this 'Near Fine plus' condition hardback in 1971. There is no dust-jacket. The book has the series dark blue cloth covers with the spine and cover titles in gilt. This book provides complete facsimilies of Mercurius Politicus for some of 1657, with notes by Peter Thomas. The size of the book in inches is 8.5 x 5.5 and it weighs 0.60 kg. There are 404 numbered pages. Mercurius Politicus, by virtue of its bulk and longevity, its remarkable regularity, its formidable editorship, and its status as an official organ of news and propaganda, looms large in the history of the Commonwealth and Protectorate. For ten years, from 1650 to 1660, it dominated the journalistic scene; and for the last five years it enjoyed an unprecedented monopoly of printed intelligence. Politicus appeared on Fridays in 514 numbers, each of 16 pages, from 6-13 June 1650 to 5-12 April 1660. The editor from the start was the famous Marchamont Needham, a friend of Milton, enjoying the trust and confidence of Cromwell, his editorship became one of the fixed institutions of the Commonwealth.
