This is a lot of 4 original copies of the National Intelligencer newspaper from Feb. 8 & 9, 1842, april 28, 1842 & May 6, 1842. The "National Intelligencer" newspaper was published in Washington, D.C. from about 1800 until 1870. Until 1810 it was named the National Intelligencer, and Washington Advertiser. Its name changed to the National Intelligencer starting with the issue of November 27, 1810. The newspaper was published daily from 1813 to 1867 as the Daily National Intelligencer and was the dominant newspaper of the capitol. Samuel Harrison Smith, a prominent newspaperman, was an early proprietor. William Winston Seaton and Joseph Gales were its publishers for more than 50 years. At first, Gales was the Senate's sole reporter, and Seaton reported on the House of Representatives. The Intelligencer supported the Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe administrations, and Gales and Seaton were selected as the official printers of Congress from 1819 to 1829. Old rag paper, so they are still in descent condition. Some edge wear and a few small splits. The printing in some areas is faded and hard to read, but still pretty interesting to read. Old pen name on some and some light age staining in a few areas. What a great look at the US in 1842. Sold together only. Thanks for looking.
