A short-live title from the nation's capital...



Item # 699381

February 15, 1817

THE NATIONAL REGISTER, Washington, Feb. 15, 1817  An uncommon title that existed from March 2, 1816 thru Dec. 7, 1820. As the photos show the format was very much like the more popular 'Niles Weekly Register' which began in 1811, but not remotely as successful.
Inside has the President's address: "To the Senate & House of Representatives of the United States" concerning: "...the indemnification of certain claimants of public lands in the Mississippi Territory..." with more, signed in type: James Madison. Then another letter from him regarding France signed as well.
Sixteen pages, 6 1/4 by 9 1/2 inches, scattered foxing, good condition.

Item from last month's catalog - #363 released for February, 2026.
