	PROSPECTUS. NEWCASTLE PRESS Prospectus to the People. In the Course of a Few Weeks will be Published, The first Number of a New Weekly Newspaper, to be called the Newcastle Press. Newcastle: Printed by Eneas Mackenzie, 129, Pilgrim Street, n. d. [c. 1830]. A broadside proposal for a new weekly newspaper, 250 x 170 mms., printed on one side only. A very good copy. Mackenzie seems to have been active as a radical printer in Newcastle, c. 1830-1840. This proposal beings: "Englishmen! We are in the midst of a great political crisis, upon the fortunate or unhappy termination of which it depends, whether the People of England shall be FREE, or the SLAVES of a tyrannical oligarchy. Ireland is already delivered over to military dominion, and an armed police has already been established in England. The Intentions then of our present rulers are plain. It is contemplated to establish upon the ruins of constitutional freedom a government of force." Mackenzie continues in this vein, stating that "Our motto is, LIBERTY AND EQUALITY...., fear[ing] the eye, and dread[ing] the tongue of no man. We wish solely to serve the people." Mackenzie's proposed weekly newspaper seems never to have come to fruition. I have not been able to locate another copy of this Prospectus or any copy indeed of the putative Newcastle Press. GBP 275.00 [Appr.: EURO 301.75 US$ 454.85 \| JP¥ 39129] Book number: 6508 Click here to order or inquire at John Price Antiquarian Books.
