Reporting on the War of 1812...
Item # 713812
·
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.
