Item # 704893

March 03, 1841

KENDALL'S EXPOSITOR, Washington, D.C., March 3, 1841 
Being from the nation's capital it is not surprising there are various political reports. 
This is the volume 1, number 3 issue of an uncommon title that lasted but 4 years. The prospectus (not here) notes it was a semi-weekly devoted to "...the security of the right of suffrage by additional laws to punish bribery & fraud...an exposure of abuses & corruptions in government..." and more.
Amos Kendall was Postmaster General under Andrew Jackson, later publishing this small, bi-weekly newspaper from 1841-1844 He was very pro-democrat and anti-Whig.
Complete in 16 pages, 5 3/4 by 8 3/4 inches, even foxing to the front page only, nice condition.
