Compensation for losses from the War of 1812...



Item # 699403

December 14, 1816

THE NATIONAL REGISTER, Washington, Dec. 14, 1816  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 a "Message from the President, To the Senate & House of Representatives..." concerning an Act of Congress: "...to authorize the payment for property lost, captured, or destroyed by the enemy while in the military service of the United States..." with more.
Sixteen pages, 6 1/4 by 9 1/2 inches, nice condition.

Item from Catalog 353 (released for April 2025)
