March 30, 1832

UNITED STATES CATHOLIC INTELLIGENCER, Boston, Massachusetts, March 30, 1832  This rather rare title lasted for just one year, having begun in October, 1831 and ending in September, 1832. The issue is a "vol. III" issue as this publication was preceded by one titled "Jesuit, or Catholic Sentinel" and they kept the same volume numbering. It was also curiously superseded by the same title as well.
Its most striking feature is the very large & deep masthead, taking close to half of the front page, and which includes a large eagle with a scroll in its beak (see photos) making it very displayable
As the title would suggest, the content is almost entirely religious. Eight pages, minor wear at the central fold of the front leaf with a small wear hole, nice 10 1/4 by 14 1/2 inches, scattered foxing.
