September 28, 1811
THE WEEKLY REGISTER, Baltimore, Sept. 28, 1811 The issue begins with over 3 pages taken up with: "The 'Affair' of the Chesapeake", an incident that happened 4 years prior between the ships Chesapeake and Leopard which nearly brought the two nations to war. Likely presented here given the recent President & Little Belt Affair, another catalyst for the War of 1812.
Near the back over a page is taken up with: "Dreadful Calamity at Charleston" being a terrible tornado there.
Included is an 8 page "Supplement" issue. Complete in 24 pages, 6 by 9 3/4 inches, very nice condition.
As noted in Wikipedia, this title: "...(was) one of the most widely-circulated magazines in the United States...Devoted primarily to politics...considered an important source for the history of the period."
