[PETERLOO MASSACRE ETC.] THE LEEDS MERCURY NEWSPAPER - BOUND VOLUME OF CIRCA 143 ISSUES, 1812-1835 Leeds, Edward Baines, 1812-1835. An incomplete run, with gaps, between May 23rd 1812 and October 24th 1835 (full list of issues available on request), each newspaper with red tax stamp, all bound together in a 19th century large folio binding of three-quarter black morocco with cloth boards, joints and extremities scuffed/worn, spine with gilt lettering direct. Some of the newspapers have browning, short tears, damp-marks etc., whilst others are in good crisp condition. A small number of issues have 1 or 2 pages missing. This volume of newspapers is a mine of information on some of the major global and British historical events from the end of the reign of King George III through the reigns of George IV and William IV, and also gives an insight into some of the more day-to-day aspects of life during this period, through its many and varied business adverts detailing some wonderful products and services, as well as through its reports on various social events and activities. For example, the issues of August 21st and 28th in 1819 contain detailed reports on the Peterloo Massacre in Manchester which resulted in the deaths of 15 people and an estimated 400-700 injured. In the first few pages alone one can read reports of trials and executions, slavery, the Napoleonic war, comets, smallpox, and highway robbery!
