       #TIH #OTD 23 March 1752: The first issue of the Halifax Gazette—a weekly #newspaper in Halifax, Nova Scotia, which remains in print to this day as the Royal Gazette—was issued. It was the first newspaper in Canada (third in North America), and its inaugural issue was the first text to be printed in Canada (Fleming, Patricia, Gilles Gallichan, & Yvan Lamonde, eds. History of the Book in Canada. Vol. 1: Beginnings to 1840. Toronto: U Toronto P, 2004). #BookHistory@bookhistodons
