differences between Letterpress and Engraving printing, how they were
used, and the impact each had as well as Newspapers, Magazines and other
printed media and their use, popularity (or scarcity) in the Colonies as well
as what was going on in Europe at the same time, with a focus on
Massachusetts Bay Colony up to Paul Revere.
