#AskFedi - one for the #history enthusiasts.
Those pamphlets from a few hundred years ago, which are like
"An
ANSWER
to the
XYZ.
Being an
ACCOUNT
of the
ſomething-or-other
EXPLAINING
why ſo-and-ſo
has it all wrong."(I can't fully do the style justice without (a) already knowing them a bit better, and (b) having italics to play with in the formatting here! but I feel sure you'll know the things I mean :-) )
I am on a bit of a geeky sidetrack about the style and language of these. I would really like to find a stash of them where I can flip through like 100 examples of those title pages, and "get my eye in" for their vibe. Or failing that, at least a dozen.
Searching isn't doing it for me, because I'm finding mostly either explanations _about_ the making of them, or later examples which don't have the glorious miscellany of type styles.
Does such a collection exist online? Where should I be looking?
Or would my only hope be to physically visit a library? (which realistically I probably wouldn't get around to, as this is only a side enthusiasm, but maybe one day. I'm based in Nottingham, England.)
Thanks in advance for clues!

I guess all #Goths are #Terrorists?
Wearing #AllBlack at #Protests Makes You Guilty of #Terrorism, Prosecutors Tell Jury
The Prairieland case is a major test of the Trump administration’s push to label “#antifa” protesters as #terrorists.
“They’re here asking you guys to put protesters in prison as terrorists.”
by Matt Sledge
March 12 2026,"Federal agents raiding the home of two alleged #antifa 'operatives' seized a telling piece of evidence, a defense attorney said during closing arguments in a landmark trial Wednesday.
"A printing press.
"That printing press was never presented to jurors. Still, the government has kept it locked away because it hated the #pamphlets and #zines it published, lawyer Blake Burns said.
"Burns represents Elizabeth Soto, one of nine defendants whose fates were in the hands of jurors as deliberations began Thursday. All are accused of roles during or after a late-night noise demonstration outside #PrairielandDetentionCenter, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility near Dallas that ended with a local police officer wounded by gunfire.
"The case has become a bellwether for the Trump administration’s crackdown on dissent from the left. The government charged people involved with the #AntiICE protest with a slew of charges, including attempted murder and terrorism counts that defense attorneys said are being used to #CriminalizeProtest.
" 'They’re here asking you guys to put protesters in prison as terrorists,' Burns, the defense lawyer, told jurors. 'That’s not happened before. And you are literally the only people in the world who can stop it.'
"During 10 days of testimony in a packed Fort Worth, Texas, courtroom, prosecutors bombarded jurors with images of radical zines printed on the press, anti-government internet memes, drawings of burning cop cars, and a video of an unidentified street brawl between far-left and far-right protesters.
"Prosecutors acknowledged those materials were protected by the #FirstAmendment but said they showed the roughly dozen people who assembled outside the ICE facility were steeped in antifa tactics.
"Eight of nine defendants on trial this month face material support for terrorism charges for wearing '#BlackBloc' clothes at the protest. Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel have hailed the first-ever use of terrorism charges against alleged antifa members."

Homan is claiming people in Chicago are so well educated by Know Your Rights pamphlets that ICE is having difficulty arresting people & deporting them.
ICE, w/their guns, battering rams, search warrants & an $8.7 billion budget is being thwarted by pamphlets?!
No, it’s Homan’s failure as a leader.

Selling small amounts of tobacco was a thing, not only in taverns. And so you needed small papers to wrap tobacco into small selling units. Often, as paintings like this one from Pieter van Anraedt of mid seventeenth-century, show, old papers - of #almanacs and #pamphlets - were used for this wrapping up. The still life "Still Life with Earthenware Jug and Clay Pipes" from 1658 shows clearly what kind of paper was reused here, dear #histodons. Let's have a closer look in the next post.

The #museum I #volunteer for got accused of introducing children to #paganism by naming a #summer #festival "#Lunasa" (a gaelic summer festival) by #religious #kooks in our #community (They even made #pamphlets!) Yet they partake in all the pagan #Christmas #traditions...religiously...

Not a single #CAAProtest in #NCR where my father has been absent. He distributed #pamphlets all over.
Thanks to all those who recognized him and helped him in distrubiting his message of #peace and #harmony
Great going #India.
