A propos de cet article

Hardcover. Leather spine and remains of leather corners. Plain dark brown boards. Quite a simple, and much worn binding. A collection of (originally) a full year of Harry Croswell's Balance. It was put into use as a scrapbook at some point in the 1800s. First page is the original Table of Contents, followed by pages covered with pasted-down articles and illustrations. As is often the case with scrapbooks of this sort, alternating pages were cut out, so that the addition of new material did not over-much bulk up the book and break the spine. There are about 20 pages at the front covered cartoons and poems, Christmas stories and receipts. The first full and complete issue of The Balance and State Journal is the ninth one, for Feb 25, 1811. (page 65 of the book). The book continues with complete issues until page 325. There are a few leaves missing 107/108; 109/110; 179/180; 181/182; 213/214; 249/250; 251/252; 253/254; 319/320; 323/324. From 325-386, there are large illustrations pasted in (some by Thomas Nash), and alternating pages cut out. Resumes on page 385-394. 395-398 missing, then 399-410. Some of the pasted in illustrations pertain to president Hayes, so they are from the 1870s. The publisher of The Balance was Harry Croswell, best remembered as a fierce proponent of the first amendment and the right of the free press. He was Federalist and in 1800 he attracted the ire of the Jeffersonian Republicans with his political attacks. They sued him and his defense of the free press went to the NY State Supreme Court, where Alexander Hamilton joined his defense. The central tenet of that defense, once more very much in the news, that "truth is a defense against libel," has stood as a guiding principle of the free press ever since. This 1811 year collection of Croswell's paper was its only year with this name and his last year as a journalist. Croswell. He became a minister and lived until 1858.
