Royal License Granted to William Faden Printing Office
In December 1759 at St James's, George II grants William Faden a license to print publish and vend the Public Ledger. The license authorizes him to oversee the work with other gentlemen aiding and forbids others from reprinting abridging or publishing the same under penalty. Boss of the Crown grants this royal privilege in the thirty third year of the reign.
