Rarely do we find early newspapers from Canada...



Item # 714610

August 01, 1827

THE CANADIAN SPECTATOR, Montreal, Aug. 1, 1827  A very early Montreal newspaper as we rarely receive such from the 1820's.
The front page has a letter headed: "Desperate Pirate". Page 3 has more than a column headed: "United States" with various reports, including one noting a meeting: "...on the subject of a canal from Lake Erie to Lake Michigan by improving the rivers Huron and Grand River (of Michigan) and some small streams..." with more.
Four pages, 10 by 14 1/2 inches, very nice condition.

Item from last month's catalog - #364 - released for March, 2026.
