Dix — Printing in Cork in First Quarter of Eighteenth Century. 15 



suggests a further edition, not improbable by any means, as but a small number 

 of copies were then comprised in an edition.

1723 (to 1725).— The Cork News Letter. {George Bennett.) Sm. folio. Double 

 columns. [Vide Windele's Cork ; Madden, vol. ii, p. 167 ; and Tuckey.] 



N.B. — The number of this News Letter that is described by Windele is given 

 by him as " 828." Assuming that this number is not a misprint, it may be taken 

 with certainty that this paper was not a daily paper ; thus, if it were only issued 

 weekly, it must have first appeared in 1707 or 1708. If, however, the paper was 

 issued twice weekly, which is probable, then it was first issued in 1715 or 1716. 

 Even if thrice weekly, which is hardly likely, it must have commenced in 1717. 

 Caulfield states that this paper appeared about 1716.
