[NEWSPAPERS]. The New-Yorker Weekly A Complete Mirror of the World. Vol. IX, Nos. 20-40. New York: C. Mathews, 1861. 20 issues of this weekly, 8-page newspaper. Each page approximately 22 x 14". Bound together with string in contemporary plain wrappers.
Wrappers worn, soiled, torn, with later pen and pencil markings, newspapers toned, soiled, with tears and chips, one issue (July 6, 1861) missing 4 pages. Fair.
This weekly newspaper, a journal of literature and society news, is quite rare. Of interest, despite a brief mention of the Gold Rush, there is no mention of the Civil War, which had started the month before the earliest issue in this lot; the front page show the collected chapters of The Champions of Freedom, or The Mysterious Chief - a novel of the War of 1812.
