               The New-England Weekly Journal, Boston

                             April 8, 1728

The New-England Weekly Journal was established by Samuel Kneeland
at Boston, March 20, 1727.  On July 3  of  that year Timothy Green
became associated with him.  The issue of April 8, 1728, volume "B,
Numb.  LV." has been reprinted.

     The Library of Congress has one of the six known originals
of this issue and also a reprint.  The reprint is a very close
copy of the original, but the two can be distinguished from each
other by the following points:

     1.  The original is on rag paper, having as watermarks a
double fleur-de-lis and parallel chain lines that are alternately
1 inch and 7/8 inch apart.  The reprint is also on rag paper but
lacks the watermarks. 
     2.  The type of "The New-England" in the title of the
original measures 1/4 inch high, while the same letters in the
reprint measure only 3/16 inch high.

    Copies of the reprint are rather numerous and have little
monetary value.
