August 27, 1825
NILES' WEEKLY REGISTER, Baltimore, Aug. 27, 1825 Page 7 has an article: "Slaves" noting: "The schooner Fell's Point...has been seized at New Orleans for smuggling slaves into Louisiana from the West Indies...The supercargo is said to be an old offender, and, possibly now is about to meet with some reward for his black crimes."
Although slavery was permissible thru the early years of the Civil War, the importation of slaves into America was outlawed in 1808.
Sixteen pages, 6 by 9 1/4 inches, tiny pin holes at the spine margin, very nice condition.
As noted in Wikipedia, this title: "...(was) one of the most widely-circulated magazines in the United States...Devoted primarily to politics...considered an important source for the history of the period."
