Damaged lot from the War of 1812... Published by Naphtali Phillips, a prominent Jewish-American of the era...

Item # 708791 ·
THE NATIONAL ADVOCATE, New York, 1814  Here is a lot of 10 issues from during the War of 1812 era, each issue having reports on the war. All issues have some sort of damage, perhaps half are close-trimmed at a margin affecting some words, a few with holes, etc. But all have War of 1812 content.
The desirability of this issue is amplified by its publisher, Naphtali Phillips, a prominent Jewish-American journalist of the early Republic who famously pulled the very first printed copy of Washington's Farewell Address off the press in 1796. He was also married to the daughter of Moses Seixas—the famed leader of Newport’s Touro Synagogue whose historic 1790 letter to George Washington prompted the President's immortal declaration that the U.S. government "gives to bigotry no sanction."
