By the King . A PROCLAMATION For Suppressing the Printing and Publishing Unlicensed News-Books , and Pamphlets of News . CHARLES R.

WHereas it is of great Importance to the State , That all News Printed and Published to the People , as well concerning Foreign , as Domestick Affairs , should be agreeable to Truth , or at least Warranted by good Intelligence , that the minds of His Majesties Subjects may not be disturbed , or amused by Lies or vain Reports , which are many times raised on purpose to Scandalize the Government , or for other indirect Ends ; And whereas of late many Evil-disposed Persons have made it a common Practice to Print and Publish Pamphlets of News , without License or Authority , and therein have vended to His Majesties People , all the idle and malicious Reports that they could Collect or Invent , contrary to Law ; The coutinuance whereof would in a short time endanger the Peace of the Kingdom , the same manifestly tending thereto , as has been declared by all His Majesties Iudges unanimously : His Majesty therefore considering the great Mischief that may ensue upon such Licencious and Illegal Practices , if not timely prevented , hath thought fit by this His Royal Proclamation ( with the Advice of His Privy Council ) strictly to Prohibit and Forbid all Persons whatsoever to Print or Publish any News-Books , or Pamphlets of News not Licensed by His Majesties Authority . And to the intent all Offenders may know their Danger , and desist from any further Proceedings of this kind , His Majesty is Graciously pleased hereby to Declare , That they shall be proceeded against according to the utmost Severity of the Law : And for that purpose , His Majesty doth hereby Will and Command all His Iudges , Iustices of Peace , and all other His Officers and Ministers of Iustice whatsoever , That they take effectual Care , that all such as shall Offend in the Premisses , be proceeded against , and punished according to their Demerits .

Given at Our Court at Whitehall this 12th day of May , in the Two and thirtieth year of Our Reign . God save the King .

London , Printed by John Bill , Thomas Newcomb , and Henry Hills , Printers to the Kings most Excellent Majesty . 1680.
