A printer and journalist of Quaker background from the Wilmington-Brandywine-Philadelphia area Niles had worked in Philadelphia and Wilmington before moving to Baltimore in 1805 as editor of the Baltimore Evening Post. When that paper was sold in 1811 he launched The Weekly Register. The editor had large ambitions: he intended to be ""an honest chronicler"" who ""registered"" events not just for his contemporaries but for posterity as well. Although politics would be covered extensively the Register would eschew any partisan slant -- ""electioneering"" as the editor called it. Furthermore the paper would ignore local news in favor of national and international news."" - http://www.nilesregister.com/NRessay.htm Articles in this issue: <br /><br />Attention Invited: Supplement to the Register <br />Proposed Legislature of Kentucky : Message of the Governor <b>Isaac Shelby</b> to the Legislature: Organize Militia for the War General Green Clay <b>Fort Miegs</b> http://www.fortmeigs.org/history/ etc.<br />Internal Navigation: in the House of Representatives Ingersoll Chesapeake and Delaware Bay Improvements<br />General Alexander Smyth's Petition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Smyth<br /><b>The Prince Regent's Speech</b> George IV George Augustus Frederick<br />Events of the War - War Substitutes for missing commodities Rumors of Peace Steam vessel of War by <b>Robert Fulton</b> many letters of the War including from <b>General Henry Harrison</b> to General Vincent<br />The Embargo Question - <b>Chart</b> on the Statistical and Political view of the vote on the embargo<br /><br />To IndependenceProceedings of Congress Monday December 20 1813 - Medical Staff in the Army - Military Schools - etc<br /><br />Postcript - A letter from <b>President James Madison</b> to congress - Letter from British <b>Castlereagh</b> Robert Stewart Viscount Castlereagh about peace - Letter by <b>Cathcart</b> William Cathcart 1st Earl Cathcart Letter by <b>James Monroe</b> secretary of state - etc<br />The Chronicle - News of Napoleon losses<br /><br /> Hezekiah Niles
