UNITED STATES CATHOLIC INTELLIGENCER, Boston, Massachusetts, 1832<br /> <br /> <strong>* Rare & early Catholic religion newspaper<br /> * Huge masthead with a heraldic eagle</strong><br /> <br /> This rather rare title lasted for just one year, having begun in October, 1831 and ending in September, 1832. The issue is a "vol. III" issue as this publication was preceded by one titled "Jesuit, or Catholic Sentinel" and they kept the same volume numbering. It was also, curiously superseded by the same title as well.<br /> Its most striking feature is the very large & deep masthead, taking close to half of the front page, and which includes a large eagle with a scroll in its beak (see photos) making it <strong>very displayable</strong>. <br /> As the title would suggest, the content is almost entirely religious. Complete in 4 pgs., some scattered browning, generally nice. <strong>The photos shown are "generic" but all issues look very much the same.</strong> Measures 10 by 14 in.

NILES' NATIONAL REGISTER, Baltimore, April 10, 1841 Has wide black "mourning" rules on all columns on all 16 pages for the death of the President. Page 3 has the report headed: "National Affairs" "Death of the President of the U. States" with various particulars (see for portions). Additional details carry over to the following pages with: "Report of the Physicians", a few more official announcements of his death, and: "Arrangements For the Funeral". Great to have this significant political report in a newspaper from so close to Washington, and in the newspaper that was essentially the mouthpiece of the federal government which would evolve into the Congressional Record. Measure 8 1/2 by 12 inches, in excellent condition.

THE NATIONAL ERA, Washington, D.C., Nov. 1852  This newspaper is forever linked to the best selling novel of the 19th century: "Uncle Tom's Cabin", for the book was originally released as a 40 week serial in this anti-slavery newspaper beginning in June, 1851. It was the newspaper's publisher who encouraged Stowe to produce the work in book form, and it is common consensus that the book had much to do with popularizing sentiment which lead to the Civil War.<br /> Page 3 or 4 has an ad for the book: <strong>"50,000 Copies Sold In Eight Weeks - Uncle Tom's Cabin; or, Life Among the Lowly"</strong> with a bit more (see). <br /> Various anti-slavery items also in this issue, plus unrelated ads as well.<br /> Four pages, browning & some light soiling, irregular at the spine with minor loss.

See photos for the page 1 of the "Table of Contents" of this Supplement.<br /> Of great significance is an items found on page 83, under a section of "<strong>National Poetry</strong>" which takes 12 pages and with the very first piece titled: "Defence of Fort McHenry", which has a simply terrific introductory paragraph which details how this piece--now known as the Star Spangled Banner--came to be written, including in part: <em>"The annexed song was composed under the following circumstances.--A gentleman had left Baltimore in a flag of truce...went as far as the mouth of the Patuxent..the flag vessel was kept under the guns of a frigate & he was compelled to witness the bombardment of Fort M'Henry...He watched the flag of the fort through the whole day with an anxiety that can be better felt than described, until the night prevented him from seeing it. In the night he watched the bomb shells & at early dawn his eye was still greeted by the proudly waving flag of his country."</em> and what follows are the versus to the song (see). It also notes it is to be sung to the tune "Anacreon in Heaven".<br /> Terrific to not only have an early printing of the national anthem in a newspaper (albeit the Supplement attached to the issue) but also in a Baltimore publication, and with the great introductory piece which explains the conditions under which it was written.<br /> Given the great length of the Supplement there are a total of 216 pages making it appear more as a booklet than a newspaper.

This was the first periodical to use the word "magazine" in its title, having begun in 1731 and lasting until 1907.<br /> Certainly the prime feature of this issue is the nice, attached fold-out map (see photo):<strong> "A Map showing the communication of the Lakes and the Rivers between Lake Superior and Slave Lake in North America."</strong> The map shows the extreme western parts of Lake Superior and "Hudson's Bay", "Lake Winiping (now Lake Winnipeg in Manitoba) and other landmarks across what is now Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia, to "Queen Charlotte's Island". Northern and northwestern points shown include Slave Lake in what is now the Northwest Territories, "Pr. William Sound" and Cook's River (both in Alaska). The map is accompanied by a lengthy extract of a letter about the region: "Description of the Country from Lake Superior to Cooks River" which takes 2 1/2 pgs. Map measures about 8 3/4 by 10 inches with the margins. This map is in excellent condition & is dated at the upper right.<br /> This issue also includes the two other full page plates called for in the table of contents.<br /> Other articles within include: "Observations on the Action of Gravity" taking 3 pages; and a short bit concerning a letter by "Dr. Franklin" concerning  the protection of Capt. Cook (see). Also near the back are: "Accurate Statement of the Late Revolution in France" and news headed "America" beginning: <em>"...the New Government is said to have given new life to the trade, manufactures & agriculture of that country..." </em>with more (see).<br /> Complete in 96 pages, measures 5 by 8 1/4 inches, full title/index page with an engraving of St. John's Gate, excellent condition.

The oldest president elected until Ronald Reagan in 1980, and last President to be born prior to the United States Declaration of Independence, Harrison died on his 32nd day in office[1]—the shortest tenure in United States presidential history. His death sparked a brief constitutional crisis, but that crisis ultimately resolved many questions about presidential succession left unanswered by the Constitution until passage of the 25th Amendment.<br /> <br /> Before election as president, Harrison served as the first territorial congressional delegate from the Northwest Territory, governor of the Indiana Territory and later as a U.S. representative and senator from Ohio. He originally gained national fame for leading U.S. forces against American Indians at the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811, where he earned the nickname "Tippecanoe" (or "Old Tippecanoe"). As a general in the subsequent War of 1812, his most notable contribution was a victory at the Battle of the Thames in 1813, which brought an end to hostilities in his region.<br /> <br /> After the war, Harrison moved to Ohio, where he was elected to the United States Congress, and in 1824 he became a member of the Senate. There he served a truncated term before being appointed as Minister Plenipotentiary to Colombia in May 1828. In Colombia, he lectured Simon Bolívar on the finer points of democracy before returning to his farm in Ohio, where he lived in relative retirement until he was nominated for the presidency in 1836.

THE WEEKLY HERALD, New York, July 31, 1847  Certainly the prime feature of this issue is the nice front page print headed: "The Celebrated Castle of Perote, In Mexico" with the various portions of the fort noted in the reference. Also: "The Description of the Castle".<br /> The balance of the ftpg. is taken up with Mexican War reports which carry over to pg. 2 as well. Complete in 8 pages, some browning to the ftpg. & minor fold rubbing, generally nice.
