You can find links to it by following www.folger.edu or by going through my blog. My most recent post also mentions early newspapers, including an image of an issue of The Moderate: www.wynkendeworde.com and thanks for the plug in your Carnivalesque--I'm glad you've enjoyed the Frances Wolfreston posts!
