On slavery in Missouri...



Item # 699385

December 04, 1819

THE NATIONAL REGISTER, Washington, Dec. 4, 1819  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 an article: "The Missouri Question" which is prefaced with: "...publication of Mr. King's observations in the Senate...on the seclusion of slavery from the State of Missouri...". It would end with the Missouri Compromise with Maine entering as a free state.
Sixteen pages, 6 1/4 by 9 1/2 inches, scattered foxing, good condition.
