* Colonization for freed slaves

An inside page has report headed: "Emigration of the Free Blacks", which tells of their colonizing on the island of St. Domingo (see photos), taking over 2 1/2 pages. Complete in 16 pages,  6 by 9 1/2 inches, with lite foxing, otherwise in nice condition.

This small size newspaper began in 1811 and was a prime source for national political news of the first half of the 19th century. As noted in Wikipedia, this title: "...(was) one of the most widely-circulated magazines in the United States...Devoted primarily to politics...considered an important source for the history of the period."
