April 2, 1839) was an American editor and publisher of the Baltimore-based national weekly news magazine, Niles' Weekly Register (aka Niles' Register) and the Weekly Register. - Wikipedia About the Register: ""The Register was founded by Hezekiah Niles in Baltimore in 1811. 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: Legislature of New HampshireLegislature of Rhode-IslandLegislature of New JerseyLaws of New JerseyLegislature of VermontAustrian ManifestoEvents of the WarAmerican PrizesLaw of TreasonA Case of ImpressmentThe ChronicleHamilton's Report, Weekly Register, 1813, 2.5, Boston, MA: Little Brown and Co., 1975 Little Brown and Co., Boston. 1975.
