As noted in Wikipedia: "Niles edited and published the Weekly Register until 1836, making it into one of the most widely-circulated magazines in the United States and himself into one of the most influential journalists of his day. Devoted primarily to politics, Niles' Weekly Register is considered an important source for the history of the period." Certainly the prime content in this issue is the very historic and extremely early report on the invention of photography, headed: "The Daguerrotipe". The text takes over half a column and begins: "You have perhaps heard of the Daguerrotipe,so called from the discoverer, M. Daguerre. It is one of the most beautiful discoveries of the age..." with much, much more on this historic invention (see photos for full text). This report could well be the earliest report on the invention of photography in an American newspaper, predating a similar report in the nation's newspaper "Daily National Intelligencer" from Washington, D.C., by two days. This issue has a wealth of other interesting articles including those headed: "Bank Robbery" "Canada Affairs" "Death of Col. Ogden" "The New Vaccine Virus" "North Carolina Godl Mines" "Emigrating Seminoles" "Pitcairn's Island" which mentions the mutineers of the Bounty; "Expedition to Oregon" "A Red Indian Dance" and much more. This issue is complete in 16 pgs., was never bound nor trimmed (unusual & desirable as such), measures 9 by 12 1/2 inches, and has various foxing & light staining as might be expected, mostly at the blank margins. The quality of the paper is quite good and is not the least bit fragile or tender.   Please Note: All of our offerings are 100% authentic! We do not offer reprints or reproductions of any kind.
