NILES' WEEKLY REGISTER, from Baltimore, Maryland, dated July 13, 1816 * Jefferson and Adams letters on war This small size newspaper began in 1811 and was a prime source for national political news of the first half of the19th century. Perhaps the best content in this issue is a nice full page article headed: "Peace and War" which concerns: "A society has been established in Massachusetts by some christian philanthropists to discourage war..." with most of the page taken up with the thoughts of Thomas Jefferson, signed in type by him: Thomas Jefferson; and John Adams, signed in type by him: John Adams (see photos). Among the other reports in this issue are: * a ftpg. article titled: "The National Jubilee" is concerning the 4th of July * continued article: "Account of Brazil" * article: "Counterfeiting" This issue is complete in 16 pages, measures about 6 1/2 by 10 inches and is in very good condition. As noted in Wikipedia: "Niles edited and published the Weekly Register until 1836, making it into one of the most widely-circulated magazines in the United States and himself into one of the most influential journalists of his day. Devoted primarily to politics, Niles' Weekly Register is considered an important source for the history of the period."

His place if concealment was in a cave, not many miles from the theatre of his bloody exploits. He has been tried, found guilty and hung, and his body given to the surgeons." Among other reports in this issue are: * "United States Whale Fishery" * "The Imprisoned Missionaries" * "Vermont" * "Polish Proclamation" This issue is complete in 16 pages, measures about 6 1/2 by 10 inches and is in very nice condition.  The page of the key text has a small piece missing from the upper right corner, but it is well into the margin (see images).

NILES' WEEKLY REGISTER, from Baltimore, Maryland, dated May 29, 1819 * The Jew Bill * H.M. Brackenridge This small size newspaper began in 1811 and was a prime source for national political news of the first half of the19th century. As noted in Wikipedia: "Niles edited and published the Weekly Register until 1836, making it into one of the most widely-circulated magazines in the United States and himself into one of the most influential journalists of his day. Devoted primarily to politics, Niles' Weekly Register is considered an important source for the history of the period." Certainly the best content in this issue is full text of the speech presented by of H.M. Brackenridge  in the Maryland House of delegates when the Jew Bill was under consideration. The text of Brackenridge's speech is headed: "Religious Liberty" and has a prefacing paragraph (see photos) before the full text carries on to take over six pages in this issue. As a bit of history, In 1776 Maryland's constitution safely protected "...all persons professing the Christian religion..." yet said nothing at all for those of other beliefs. it was a fact not widely known among other Americans that in the State of Maryland, and in Maryland alone, a citizen professing the Jewish religion could not hold any office, civil or military. In 1797 Solomon Etting, Baltimore leader and representative Jewish figure, along with other prominent Jews petitioned the Maryland Assembly to address this prejudicial issue and secure equal rights for Jews. The petition was well received but ultimately rejected. Year after year as it was presented and turned down new advocates were enlisted including influential Gentiles. In 1818 Judge H. M. Brackenridge and others began a vigorous battle to right this wrong. The legislation ultimately to be known as "The Jew Bill" was enfranchised in 1825 and confirmed the following year. Among the other reports in this issue are: * "Treaty with Spain (on the front page) * 'The Mohawk Indians" * "Colonization Society" * "Meteorological Notices" * a back page report on Prairie du Chien This issue is complete in 16 pages, measures about 6 by 9 7/8 inches, light scattered foxing and some loss to the upper right corner which does impact a few words of the 6 page speech (see images), otherwise good.

NILES' WEEKLY REGISTER, Baltimore, Maryland, September 8, 1832  * Very early report on the Mormons  * Detailed 1830 census report  This small size newspaper began in 1811 and was a prime source for national political news of the first half of the19th century.

Devoted primarily to politics, Niles' Weekly Register is considered an important source for the history of the period." Within this issue is a rather brief article with a small head: "Mormonism", the full report reading: "Two preachers of this sect have lately visited Boston, and soon made 15 converts to their strange doctrines--some of whom are respectable persons--5 also had joined at Lynn. Certain of these converts have cast considerable sums of money into the stock, and all were about to depart for the 'promised land', in Jackson county, Missouri--the precious spot having been lately discovered." (see photos). This is one of the earliest mentions of the Mormons we have seen in a newspaper, and quite rare as such. Near the back of the issue are 4 pages of charts reporting the results of the 1830 census (see photos for one of the pages). Among other reports in this issue are: "Bank of the United States" "Relics of the Revolution" "West Indies" references the slave insurrection in Jamaica and  "Southern Prejudices" This issue is complete in 16 pages, measures about 6 1/2 by 10 inches in nice condition save for minor spine wear.

THE ATLAS, from Boston, Massachusetts, dated December 14, 1839. A very nice political endorsement on pg. 2: "For President, William Henry Harrison, Of Ohio" "For Vice-President, John Tyler, Of Virginia." Nice patriotic woodcut above this ad as well as the title and date. This is complete in four pages with traces of light foxing in the endorsement, otherwise very good.

SALEM GAZETTE, Salem, Massachusetts, October 4, 1836 * Michigan Territory to join the Union ? A page 3 report about "Michigan" says: * The convention to determine...whether Michigan shall to assent...to the terms...of her admission into the Union, consists of 50 delegates; and of these, 30 were...against the assent required... Other news of the day includes: "The Railroad" "Daniel Webster" and more with many advertisements. 4 pages in nice condition. wikipedia notes: The population grew slowly until the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825. This brought a large influx of settlers to Michigan because it made transportation by ships through the Great Lakes possible. By the 1830s, Michigan had some 80,000 residents, which were more than enough to apply for statehood. In 1836 a state government was formed, although Congressional recognition of the state was delayed pending resolution of a boundary dispute with Ohio. Both states claimed a 468-square-mile (1,210 km²) strip of land that included the newly incorporated city of Toledo on Lake Erie and an area to the west then known as the "Great Black Swamp." The dispute came to be called the Toledo War. Michigan and Ohio militia maneuvered in the area but never exchanged fire. Congress awarded the "Toledo Strip" to Ohio. Michigan received the western part of the Upper Peninsula as a concession and formally entered the Union on January 26, 1837.

HOUSEHOLD WORDS, London, England, May 18, 1850 * Charles Dickens Publication * Original 1850 Periodical This 24 page issue is in nice condition and measures 6 x 9 inches. This was a weekly journal which was conducted by Charles Dickens as noted in the masthead. This magazine has mainly literary reading (stories, poems etc.), some by Charles Dickens himself. wikipedia notes: "On 21st January 1846 Charles Dickens published the first edition of his new radical newspaper, The Daily News. The newspaper was not a great commercial success and Dickens resigned as editor. However, he was determined to create a means where he could communicate his ideas on social reform and in 1850 he began editing Household Words. The weekly journal included articles on politics, science and history. To increase the number of people willing to buy Household Words, it also contained short stories and humourous pieces. Dickens also used the journal to serialize novels that were concerned with social issues such as his own Hard Times (1854) and two books by Elizabeth Gaskell , Cranford and North and South. By 1851 the twenty-four page Household Words was soon selling 40,000 copies a week. Dickens published Household Words between 1850 and 1859 and during that time the journal campaigned in favour of parliamentary reform and improvements in the education of the poor. Dickens's was extremely hostile to the 1834 Poor Law Amendment Act and wrote several articles on the workhouse system. Dickens was also concerned with public health and the reform of the legal system. When Dickens's argued with the publishers of Household Words in 1859, he closed the journal and replaced it with All the Year Round. The new journal still covered social issues but mainly concentrated on literary matters. Several important novels were serialized in All the Year Round including Dickens's own A Tale of Two Cities (1859) and Great Expectations (1860-61). The journal also published three novels by Wilkie Collins , The Woman in White (1860), No Name (1862) and The Moonstone (1868). Dickens continued to published All the Year Round until his death on 8th June, 1870 " Source: Unknown

NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, Washington, D.C., April 4, 1848  This newspaper contains on page 2 reports from the: "House of Representatives" which includes text of discussion, with each speaker's name noted in capital letters. "Mr. Lincoln" spoke briefly twice (see photos). In 1846 Lincoln ran for the United States House of Representatives and won. While in Washington he became known for his opposition to the Mexican War and to slavery. He served only one term, from March, 1847 thru March, 1849, so Congressional reports with mention of Abraham Lincoln are quite scarce. Lincoln returned home after his term and resumed his law practice. Quite rare to find period mentions of Lincoln--albeit quite inconspicuous--from long before he would become a national figure. Lincoln was just 39 years old at the time. Complete in 4 pages, very nice condition.

THE NEW YORK TIMES, New York, NY, November 14, 1924 * Dean O'Banion death funeral * Chicago mobster This 40 page newspaper has one column headlines on page 2: "CHURCH RITES DENIED FOR CHICAGO GUNMAN" and "But Cardinal Permits O'Banion in $10,000 Coffin to Lie in Consecrated Ground". Tells of the recent assassination of Chicago mob boss Dean O'Banion. Other news of the day. Usual browning with minor margin wear, otherwise in good condition. Should be handled with care. wikipedia notes: Charles Dean O'Banion (8 July 1892 – 10 November 1924) was an Irish-American mobster who was the main rival of Johnny Torrio and Al Capone during the brutal Chicago bootlegging wars of the 1920s. The newspapers of his day made him better known as Dion O'Banion, although he never went by that name. Heretofore, Mike Merlo and the Unione Siciliane had refused to sanction a hit on O'Banion. However, Merlo had terminal cancer and died on November 8, 1924. With Merlo gone, the Gennas and South Siders were free to move on O'Banion. Using the Merlo funeral as a cover story, over the next few days the Unione national director from New York City, Frankie Yale, and other gangsters visited Schofield's, O'Banion's flower shop, to discuss floral arrangements. However, the real purpose of these visits was to memorize the store layout for the hit on O'Banion. On the morning of November 10, 1924, O'Banion was clipping chrysanthemums in Schofield's back room. Yale entered the shop with Torrio/Capone gunmen John Scalise and Albert Anselmi. When O'Banion attempted to greet Yale with a handshake, Yale clasped O'Banion's hand in a death grip. At the same time, Scalise and Anselmi fired two bullets into O'Banion's chest, two in his cheeks, and two in his throat. Dean O'Banion died instantly. Since O'Banion was a major crime figure, the Catholic Church denied him burial on consecrated ground; however, the Lord's Prayer and three Hail Marys were recited in his honor by a priest O'Banion had known from his youth. Despite this restriction, O'Banion received a lavish funeral, much larger than the Merlo funeral the day before. O'Banion was buried in Mount Carmel Cemetery in Hillside, Illinois. Due to the opposition from church officials, O'Banion was originally interred in unconsecrated ground. However, his family was eventually allowed to rebury him on consecrated ground elsewhere in the cemetery. The O'Banion killing sparked a brutal five-year gang war between the North Side Gang and the Chicago Outfit that culminated in the killing of seven North Side gang members in the St. Valentine's Day Massacre in 1929.

FRANK LESLIE'S ILLUSTRATED, New York, March 7, 1857  Certainly the unusual feature of this issue is the terrific & huge foldout centerfold which comes with it, being a print captioned: "General Wayne's Assault On Stony Point" during the Revolutionary War, beneath which is noted that: "This print is issued with No. 65 of Frank Leslie's Illus. Newspaper." Given this is a four page foldout it is rare to find it in nice condition, which this is. Extremely displayable as such. The balance of the issue has small binding holes at the blank spine margin, otherwise is in nice condition.

THE LOG CABIN, New York & Albany, Nov. 9, 1840  Famous & short-lived presidential campaign newspaper published by Horace Greeley in support of William Henry Harrison. A very significant issue as it reports the election results of the 1840 Presidential campaign, with Wm. H. Harrison the winner. Page 2 has two engravings supporting the Harrison-Tyler ticket (see) beneath which are reports that Harrison was the victor, including a chart of the states beginning: "The Work Is Done! We have already ascertained beyond doubt that Harrison & Tyler electors have been chosen in the following states: " followed by the list (see). This is followed by more text noting: "Halt! Let us add up: 167 Harrison Electors. That will answer: 294 is the whole number, 148 a majority. GEN. HARRISON IS ELECTED, without the votes of Georgia and Michigan which are now pouring in..." with more (see). This is then followed by yet another article headed: "The Great Result" beginning: "The Verdict of the People has been rendered, and its thunder-tones are now pealing through the lane! It is the knell of Loco-Focoism! It is the funeral dirge of Van Burenism!..." with more (see). The balance of the page & a bit of pg. 3 are taken up with various election charges. There is more on Harrison on the bkpg. with: "General Harrison" and "Friends of Harrison & Reform! Old TIP IS ELECTED PRESIDENT and the Log Cabin will go head! Shall it have your Support?..." which is a proposal to continue the newspaper (see for portions). Four pages with a log cabin engraving in the masthead, irregular at the right margin causes some trimming loss to the bottom portion of pg. 1 only but not affecting any mentioned text. Some loss to the bottom of the spine margin affects some words on pgs. 2, 3 & 4 but again not any mentioned reports. The back page has the lyrics and music of: "Tippecanoe And Tyler Too. The New Whig Song And Chorus, Arranged For The Log Cabin" (see photos). Also has the text of "Gen. Harrison's Speech, At The Dayton Convention, Held 10th September, 1840." Four pages, has an engraving of a log cabin in the masthead, archival mend to a tear in unrelated text.
