The title is not in the masthead...

Item # 706440
March 19, 1811
THE EAGLE, Castine, Maine, March 19, 1811  It is curious that the title does not appear in the masthead, simply a large, heraldic eagle with a scroll in its beak reading: "Honour, Peace, and Commerce". The title appears at the top of the first column.
Gregory notes that this issue is held by just 2 institutions, and existed from 1809 until 1811. This issue was printed 9 years before Maine would become a state.
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, very nice condition.
