John:

If this is the John Russell I know from BC and all, let me know!!!

I've catalogued numerous French pamphlets and some English pamphlets (and 
it does always seem to be pamphlets and mostly late 18th century) printed 
on this "cadet blue" paper as I have seen it listed.

The quality of the paper is not very good.
