November 25, 1797
PORCUPINE'S GAZETTE, Philadelphia, Nov. 25, 1797 This was William Cobbett's important and controversial--but short-lived--daily newspaper.
Cobbett was a prolific & controversial publisher who often wrote under the pen name of "Peter Porcupine." He was famous for sniping at his political opponents, usually those of a Jeffersonian-Republican sentiment. The first issue appeared on March 4, 1797 and the newspaper lasted for just 3 years.
The front page has an ad: "A Negro Man For Sale" with details, with various news items inside including reports from Congress, and "Plots And Conspiracies".
Four pages, never-trimmed margins, very nice condition.
