MILITARY MONITOR, and AMERICAN REGISTER, New York, Sept. 14, 1814  This military-themed newspaper was published exclusively during the War of 1812, containing mostly war-related news and content.
Curiously, this volume 1, number 5 issue was the first published. As noted both in Brigham's "History & Bibliography of American Newspapers" and the front page of this issue, the first four issues, Aug. 17 thru Sept. 7, were not printed until late in 1812 when they were distributed to subscribers in order to complete the volume.
Four pages, 8 3/4 by 10 1/2 inches, light damp staining, good condition.
