Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Newspapers were hugely influential in late eighteenth-century England, yet little is known about how they operated. This new study examines both London and provincial newspapers, their successful operation and influence upon politics, and their relationship with politicians, readers, and public opinion.
MoreLong description:
Historians have traditionally attributed great influence to newspapers in late eighteenth-century England, yet in spite of the power they were supposed to wield, very little is known about the newspaper press itself during this period.
Newspapers, Politics, and Public Opinion in Late Eighteenth-Century England examines the ways in which both London and provincial newspapers operated, the fashioning of their politics, and their relationships with politicians, and, crucially, their readers.
In particular, this book is concerned with the ways in which newspapers both represented and shaped public opinion. By concentrating on the late 1770s and early 1780s, and on events and debates surrounding the movement for political reform, these areas are brought into sharper focus; as are important and related issues such as the changing nature of popular political debate, the role of `the people' in politics, and the composition of the political nation.
Hannah Barker's book Newspapers, Politics, and Public Opinion in Late Eighteenth-Century England is, among other things, a valuable contribution to the discussion of how England managed to avoid another revolution ... Historians of the newspaper press will also appreciate her analysis of the economics of the trade, which is further supported by several clear diagrammatical illustrations of the interrelationship of sales figures, advertising revenue and profit for different contemporary newspapers.
