<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black">We have found the following single “newspaper” sheet in our collections (I hope the image is visible below) and we are not quite sure what to make of it. I am wondering whether it is some form
of printer’s waste. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black">Have any of you come across anything similar? It looks as if the “title” is made up of different characters (roman and italic; including a Greek omega) printed over each other.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black">There is no imprint on the sheet. From the contents, we think this was printed in 1737.
