| Item Description: | Reproduction of the originals from the Burney Collection, the British Library (London). Anonymous. Principally written by John Wilkes, with editorial assistance and contributions from Charles Churchill. Title from caption. Imprint from undated colophon. Note above date line: To be continued every Saturday. Price two pence halfpenny. Note following imprint: Where letters directed to the North Briton (post-paid) will be received for the author. With continuous pagination and register. Of the many continuations and reprints of this publication by other writers and publishers during the next ten years, Wilkes was not known to be associated with any, including those attributed to Brooke and Bingley. He apparently edited and corrected a London folio edition of 1763, which he printed himself on his private press, and was also associated with the Dublin edition of 1766, and a 4 volume reissue of 1772 (cf. DNB). Another 'no. 46', dated May 1763, was probably written by J.W. Brooke, who continued to issue a paper under this title until 1764. The first issue of this paper appeared immediately following the first number of The Briton, conducted by Tobias Smollett. Isssues consist of political essays attacking the government. Wilkes ended his connection with this publication during the legal troubles which resulted in his expulsion from Parliament and exile to France. Description based on: Number I. (Saturday, June the 5th, 1762.); title from caption. Latest issue consulted: Number XLVI. (Saturday, November the 12th, 1763.). Electronic resource. |

| Related Items: | The popularity of this paper led to immediate continuations published by E. Sumpter and attributed to J.W. Brooke (28 May 1763 to -6 December 1766), and another published by W. Bingley (10 May 1768 to - 11 May 1771). Wilkes had nothing to do with these later publications. |
