Newsbook

Front cover of the Perfect Diurnall for January 16–23, 1654, with which Mabbot was associated.

Newsbooks were the 17th-century precursors to today's newspapers.[1] Originating in England and Scotland, they are distinct from the earlier news periodicals, known as corantos, which were sourced from continental Europe.
