Q: "Upham ’s Collection of Newspaper Extracts"

[Joel S. Berson]

Stephen, in what database did you find my letter?  And is there a
fuller title for the newspaper?  (I'm not finding anything by the
name "London Evening Post" for 1755.  WorldCat confirms that there
was such a beast that year, but only leads me to some works about
letters from it!)

Yes that's one of the places I found that has the letter, although
none of my three sources identified --

I had wondered, since Upham's Collection is sometimes called "English
Newspaper Cuttings", whether it had in fact been published (? only)
across the seas, since I hadn't been able to find it in EAN.

Thanks,
Joel
