A non-newspaper political sheet, presumably printed only on listed date...



Item # 695803

March 26, 1806

THE IMPARTIAL EXAMINER, (Boston), March 26, 1806  This is a very unusual item. It is not a newspaper in the traditional sense. Note that it does not list a volume or issue number in the dateline. Nor does it list the city where published.
This would appear to be a stand-alone issue concerning the election of governor for Massachusetts. The front page has a heading: "Who Shall Be Governor? Considered" with the text beginning: "For five years you have elected Caleb Strong to the Chief Magistracy of your beloved State. His conduct, as your Governor, has been known to all..." with more.
The balance of the issue debates whether he should be governor again, as well as considerations for James Sullivan, who would win the election of 1807.
There are no advertisements or other news items in this "newspaper".
This item is listed in the Catalog of the American Antiquarian Society, in which they presume it to have been printed in Boston, and by John Park.
Complete in 4 pages, never bound nor trimmed, 10 1/2 by 14 inches, wide margins, archival strengthening at the spine, very nice condition.
