The front page of a Belfast News Letter from April 1739, one of the many that we serialised each day, beginning last year, when each edition turned 280 years old. The reports on this page today come from the August 14 (August 25 modern date) paper, which is the last surviving edition in that surviving nine-month batch of papers from 1738 and 1739

The last of our reproduced reports from 1739: ‘The Parliament of Ireland is to be prorogued now until October’
