"Certain News of the Present Week," the First Regularly Printed English Newspaper, Begins Publication

The Folger Shakespeare Library, holder of this copy, characterizes this as "No. 33 in a series of newsbooks published between Oct. 1622 and Sept. 1624 by a small group of publishers including Nathaniel Butter, Nicholas Bourne, Thomas Archer and others, most numbers of the series having distinctive titles. In early Sept. 1624 Archer left the group and founded a competing newsbook (cf. Dahl, Bibliography of English corantos and newsbooks 1620-1642, 113.)"
Evidently this series of newsbooks predates or parallels the periodical that Butter and Bourne issued as Certain News of the Present Week, or the Weekly News.
