February 08, 1814
THE WAR, New York, Feb. 8, 1814 The front page has "Relations With France" which includes documents signed in type by James Madison and James Monroe. Also on the front page are "From Canadian Papers" and "General Orders" which relate to the War of 1812, as well as "Canadian Legislature".
Inside pages include: "Of An Armistice" and a nice report headed: "Falmouth Bombarded" which takes three-quarters of a column.
Also: "Festivals in honor of the Brave" "Military Promotions" and "Interesting Particulars of the Fall of Fort Niagara" which takes over a full column and is very detailed.
The back page has a document praising the efforts Lieut. Burrows and M'Call signed by: James Madison, plus "Naval & Marine Memoranda".
Four pages, 9 by 11 1/4 inches, tiny binding holes at the blank spine, good condition.
This is a fascinating, short-lived newspaper, having begun in 1812 for the exclusive purpose of reporting on the War of 1812 (hence the title) with no advertisements. When the war ended, so did this newspaper.
