This is the complete, mostly bound, volume of 26 issues of the Niles’ Weekly Register from March 1835 to August 1835. It contains four issues with documentation of the early stages of the Texas revolution. The articles begin with the increase in the number of colonists (page 254), a note that “colonists of Texas are not likely to submit quietly to the military despotism of Santa Ana, but are arming themselves for resistance” (page 377), and later that the “affairs of Texas are fast approaching a crisis” (page 395). The final mention is that 2,500 Mexican troops are en route to Nacogdoches (page 434). 462 pages. Lacking covers.

Condition: B

Contents have light toning mostly along the sheet edges and a small dampstain in the bottom right corner, mostly in the blank margins. The first 24 issues are still bound together (lacking covers) and the last two issues are loose and appear to be from different examples (they are slightly larger). The final issue has some soiling and significant creasing at lower right (C+).
