NILES' WEEKLY REGISTER, from Baltimore, Maryland, dated November 16, 1816
* Rare full page map of Algiers
This small size newspaper began in 1811 and was a prime source for national political news of the first half of the19th century.
One of the more notable items in this issue is the very unusual--are quite rare--full page map headed: "Plan of Algiers" which is a somewhat crude illustration of the town, with various details (see photos).
Among other reports in this issue are:
* "The Right & Power of Suffrage"
* "Convention of Maine"
* "Yellow Fever"
* "The Eccentric Voyager"
This issue is complete in 16 pages, measures about 6 1/2 by 10 inches and is in nice 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."
