DAILY NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, Washington, D. C., April 19, 1847  The front page has a nice article concerning General Tom Thumb from early in his career with P.T. Barnum. Bits mention: "...The General is a most symmetrical personage, & although formed ion one of nature's smallest moulds, is a perfect specimen of humanity polite, fascinating, agreeable, accurate, entertaining, & at times merry as a cricket. To Mr. Barnum, his worthy preceptor, guide & companion, is the Lilliputian monarch indebted for his entree into all the courts of Europe..." and more.
Page 3 has: "Smithsonian Institution" which mentions plans for the laying of its cornerstone. Page 3 also has much reporting on the Mexican War with: "Further Call Upon Volunteers" "From Vera Cruz" "Latest From the Rio Grande" and: "From New Mexico" the latter concerning a battle at Santa Fe which: "...reported that the enemy had 280 killed...were four encounters...in all of which our arms were victorious...".
Four pages, very nice condition.
