A scrapbook of clippings, 1758-1802, from English newspapers. Pages 1-56 contain selections about American affairs, chiefly military events during the French and Indian War and the Revolution.

The bulk of the volume (pages 57-400) contains only news of events in England after 1783; most of these clippings concern accidents, crimes, and court cases, but a few relate to theatrical and musical performances. The identity of the compiler is not known.
