| Complex Note | The Stamp Act took effect in November, 1765, and with the issue of Nov. 7, 1765, the Drapers changed the title from the "Massachusetts Gazette, and Boston News-letter", to "The Massachusetts Gazette"; abandoned the volume numbering, assigning to each issue a zero in place of the usual number; and in defiance of the provisions of the Stamp Act omitted the names of the publishers in the imprint. With the issue of May 22, 1766, upon the receipt of the news of the repeal of the Act, the Drapers reverted to the title "The Massachusetts Gazette, and Boston News-letter" and resumed the former numbering with no. 3268.
