THE WAR, New York, Feb. 15, 1814  The front page is entirely taken up with "An Act" of Congress for "Provisions For Filling The Ranks of the Regular Army..." signed: James Madison, plus "An Act--Authorizing the President...to cause certain regiments...to be enlisted for five years or during the war." signed: James Madison, as well as a very lengthy account headed: "Niagara Frontier" which carries over to take half of page 2.
There are other reports on the War of 1812 scattered throughout this issue as well.
Four pages, 9 by 11 1/4 inches, tiny binding holes at the blank spine, nice condition.

This is a fascinating, short-lived newspaper, having begun in 1812 with the exclusive purpose of reporting on the War of 1812 (hence the title). When the war ended, so did this newspaper.
