This article presents information on the book "Some Forerunners of the Newspaper in England, 1976-1622," by Matthias A. Shaaber. The author has shown much enterprise in examining a deal of dull matter, along with some that is sensational to demonstrate how the people of England satisfied their curiosity for news in the one hundred and fifty years after the introduction of the printing-press. The term "newspaper" does not occur until after the Restoration, and what is usually set down as the first newspaper, a weekly which appeared irregularly in the decade 1622-32, was in reality a pamphlet known in those days as a "newsbook." It was almost entirely a translation of news reports from abroad.
