The British Apollo

From my old paper collection
The front page of the British Apollo or Curious Amusements for the Ingenious from February 1708
Subscribers sent in questions and the publisher attempted to answer them, some examples are "where does April fools come from", "the origins of throwing a cock on Shrove Tuesday" and "what is the cause of tears". It is also contains brief domestic and international news.
