THE HERALD; A GAZETTE FOR THE COUNTRY, New York, May 31, 1797
* During George Washington's administration
A very typical late 18th century American newspaper with a good mix of news reports of the day and advertisements. A fine opportunity for an early newspaper at a low price.
Four pages, very nice condition.
AI notes: The Herald; A Gazette for the Country was an American newspaper published in the late 18th century, notable for its Federalist leanings and coverage of national political affairs during the early years of the United States. Often printed in New York City, it served as a political mouthpiece during the contentious debates between Federalists and Democratic-Republicans. The paper featured editorials, letters, and reports from Congress, and it supported a strong central government, aligning with figures like Alexander Hamilton. Its formal language and patriotic tone reflected the aspirations of the young republic and helped shape early American political discourse.
