THE MORNING CHRONICLE, ETC.—WHEN FIRST ESTABLISHED.

It is read in the Newspaper Directory that The Morning Chronicle was established in 1770, The Morning Herald in 1781, The Times, 1st January, 1788. I believe that not one of these dates is correct, and that of The Morning Herald to be wrong by fifteen years or more. Can you, or any of the readers of "Notes and Queries," give me the exact dates, or tell me where I can find the earlier volumes; say, the first ten, of either or all?
