Title: HARRISBURG CHRONICLE. Vol. XXI. --- No. 7. Thursday, December 13, 1832
Description: Harrisburg: By Hugh Hamilton & Son, 1832. 1st Printing. Self wrappers. One sheet, folded once vertially, to form 4 pages, 5 columns per page. Page 4 primarily ads, with, we note, 2 from one James Peacock, advertising "New Books" [including "Westward Ho"] & "Splendid Books". Some adverts adorned with cuts. 20-1/4" x 13-1/8". The hand-made paper still pliable, and considering the age, is holding up well. Still, the expected age-toning, bit of edge-rash, fold-lines, light foxing & age-toning. Occasional creases & tears. Prior owner signature of one "Col. W. Lee" (?). A VG survivor. "This paper is published TWICE a week during the session of the State Legislature, and ONCE a week during the remainder of the year, at three dollars per annum, payable in advance." For this issue, the legislature must have been in session, as much of the text is taken up with political reporting.
