NILES' WEEKLY REGISTER, Baltimore, Maryland, September 8, 1832  * Very early report on the Mormons  * Detailed 1830 census report  This small size newspaper began in 1811 and was a prime source for national political news of the first half of the19th century. 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." Within this issue is a rather brief article with a small head: "Mormonism", the full report reading: "Two preachers of this sect have lately visited Boston, and soon made 15 converts to their strange doctrines--some of whom are respectable persons--5 also had joined at Lynn. Certain of these converts have cast considerable sums of money into the stock, and all were about to depart for the 'promised land', in Jackson county, Missouri--the precious spot having been lately discovered." (see photos). This is one of the earliest mentions of the Mormons we have seen in a newspaper, and quite rare as such. Near the back of the issue are 4 pages of charts reporting the results of the 1830 census (see photos for one of the pages). Among other reports in this issue are: "Bank of the United States" "Relics of the Revolution" "West Indies" references the slave insurrection in Jamaica and  "Southern Prejudices" This issue is complete in 16 pages, measures about 6 1/2 by 10 inches in nice condition save for minor spine wear.

THE CIRCULAR, Oneida, New York, Oct. 8, 1857  This is an uncommon periodical published by the Oneida Community, a Utopian commune founded by John Humphrey Noyes in 1848 in Oneida. The community believed that Jesus Christ had already returned in the year 70, making it possible for them to bring about Christ's millennial kingdom themselves, and be free of sin and perfect in this world, not just heaven. Page 2 has close to three-quarters of a column taken up with: "The Mormons" which begins by stating that their newspaper "The Mormon" published in New York has ceased publication, and noting: "...It has awakened public attention to the fact that Mormonism has a vigorous growth in the large cities; that it is not confined to he limited area governed directly by Brigham Young..." with more (see). The article also includes a report that: "...Although the Mormon delusion originated in this country, and the American name is disgraced by the atrocious practices of the Utah Valley, yet the mass of Mormons are not Americans but natives of the British isles...When the Mormon superstition was first preached..." and more (see). Four pages, nice condition.
