No. 45 - Volume V. Published by Harry Croswell, Warren-Street, Hudson. Published in Hudson, New York, this weekly miscellany resembled a newspaper, having large-size pages and many advertisements. Among its varied contents were a section of moral and religious essays called "The Monitor," a section of poetry titled "The Wreath," articles on women's education and manners, an agriculture section, and literary notices. In addition there was some political material, including a section of speeches and addresses, proceedings of the state legislature and Congress, brief news items, and legal notices. Some pencil writing on the paper, as well. Read first hand what was happening in America during Thomas Jefferson's presidency - just 30 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence (1776) and 19 years after the Constitution was signed (1787). It is an 8 page (4 pages front and back) newspaper measuring approximately 9.5" x 11.5". The paper is in Good Condition. There is wear to the paper - there are many creases, nicks, chips and tears along the edges. There are a number creases and in the middle of the editorials, as well. The over 210 year old paper also suffers from some staining, foxing, browning, spotting, damp stains and type fading. Small holes down the left border from where it was once bound. Some pencil writing on the paper, as well. This is an incredible chance to read about our countries history on the original day it was reported! A great opportunity for any collector or history buff to own a true piece of American history! Other dings here and there. Please email with questions and see my store for other great items.
