NILES' WEEKLY REGISTER, Baltimore, Maryland, 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, minor foxing and little creasing, otherwise in good condition.
wikipedia notes: "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."
