Of a worthy London Prentice my purpose is to speak,
Printed on the back of a Spanish indulgence. "In 1748, during the

war between England and Spain, a Spanish ship, captured by an English cruiser, was sent into Boston. Among other articles in the captured vessel, were several bales of Bulls or Indulgencies, issued by the Pope, and printed on one side of a small sheet. Fleet purchased a large quantity of them at a low price, and printed songs and ballads on the back of them. In the Evening Post he advertised them as follows: 'Choice Pennsylvania Tobacco Paper to be sold by the Publisher of this Paper, at the Heart and Crown [in Cornhill, Boston]; where may also be had the BULLS or Indulgencies of the present Pope Urban VIII. either by the single Bull, Quire, or Ream, at a much cheaper Rate than they can be purchased of the French or Spanish Priests, and yet will be warranted to be of the same Advantage to the Possessors.' Buckingham, Reminiscences, I. 142. This is the only example I have found. The advertisement will be found in the Boston Evening-Post, November 7, 1748.
