Note 256 — II THE RATE FOR NEWSPAPERS
Reading edition
"As it seems clear that the 'Remonstrance' (The Remonstrance and Address of the Army) was framed by Clarges, Henry Muddiman must have settled its wording and final form, as he did that of many other documents.... For this reason, after the Restoration, he became sole privileged journalist of the kingdom, and was granted the privilege of free postage for his letters like the officers of State."—J. B. Williams, A History of English Journalism, London, 1908, p. 176.
