Item # 685094
May 13, 1843
NILES' NATIONAL REGISTER, Baltimore, May 13, 1843
* Boston Tabernacle dedication
* William Millerites - Millerism
* Second Advent of Jesus Christ
Page 3 has over half a column on: "Trouble Among the Traders To Santa Fe" and another page has: "Texas, Question ion Annexation - The Condition of Texas".
The back page has a very brief item on Millerism: "Miller's Tabernacle, in Boston was dedicated amidst a most suffocating crowd of witnesses, on Thursday last. The service was solemn and affecting."
This concerns the Millerites, followers of the teachings of William Miller, who in 1831 first shared publicly his belief that the Second Advent of Jesus Christ would occur in roughly the year 1843-4. As further "adjustments" to the date failed to materialize as well, the sect would cease to exist in a few years.
Sixteen pages, 8 1/2 by 12 inches, 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."
