Reporting on the War of 1812...
Item # 713812
July 25, 1812
THE WAR, New York, July 25, 1812 The entire front page is taken up with continued reports from "Congress" including discussion relating to the War of 1812.
Page 2 has an item beginning: "The royal printer at Montreal, on the reception of the news of war, called loudly upon his fellow subjects to arouse from their lethargy & prepare to defend the country. The present crisis (says he) is too alarming to be trifled with. All is at stake...".
Also: "The Conquest of Canada" plus a listing of: "American Vessels & Their Force" listing the ships, size, & commanders.
Four pages, 9 by 11 1/4 inches, never-trimmed margins, very 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.
