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."

One of the articles in this issue has a small head: "The Israelites" with the text beginning: "The pope has lately issued an edict for the conversation of the Jews of which the following is an extract..." and see the photos for the remainder of this article.

The bkpg. has a small item concerning the Santa Fe Trail, headed: "Intercourse with Santa Fe" with the text including: "...a company, to be composed of 100 men...prepared to go out to the city of Santa Fe...in the province of Texas for the purpose of selling goods to the inhabitants." (see photos).

* "Gen. Lafayette" beginning: "...is now on a tour through the southern states..."

* "The Susquehannah Canal"
* "Republic of Colombia"
