Approximately 312 issues including one 4 pp. The only issues lacking are December 2 and December 3 the days pertaining to the Monroe Doctrine. </p><b>An issue of note </b>May 30 1823 reports on the <b>First Intersectional Horse Race</b> which took place on May 27 1823. <i>Eclipse</i> represented the North and <i>Henry</i> represented the South. <i>"The third heat won also by eclipse by four lengths- and of course he took the purse of 40000 dollars. It was a tight race certainly and must have afforded the highest degree of interest to those who witnessed it."</i><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>The <i>Daily National Intelligencer</i> was founded as the <i>National Intelligencer and Washington Advertiser</i> by Samuel Harrison Smith in 1800. The paper became the tri-weekly <i>National Intelligencer</i> in 1810 and became the <i>Daily</i>in 1813. In its early years it served as the voice of the Jefferson Madison Monroe and J. Q. Adams administrations. Its editors Joseph Gales Jr. and William W. Seaton were well known and associated with the <i>National Intelligencer</i> from 1813 until its demise in 1869. The <i>Intelligencer</i> served as the voice of the federal government until the election of Andrew Jackson when it switched to the Whig party. The <i>Intelligencer</i>was primarily a political newspaper though it did move sometimes between being "friendly" to administrations and taking a more neutral approach. Like most political newspapers in the partisan press period the <i>Intelligencer</i> always relied heavily on lucrative Congressional printing contracts for its financial support. The paper was noted for its full coverage of Congress and other government information including proclamations notices and advertisements. Seaton and Gales employed shorthand reporters including themselves occasionally to take down verbatim reports of Congressional debates and speeches. Because of its depth of political coverage the <i>Intelligencer</i>was one of the more popular exchange newspapers during the early part of the 19th century. Many other newspapers took their coverage of national politics and government directly from the <i>Intelligencer.</i></p><p><b>Condition</b></p><p>Original marbleized paper covers and leather spine.
