These volumes were originally owned by a marine insurance company, which saved them solely
for the marine notices printed on the first pages. Thus, half of each newspaper was discarded. The
issues from 1801 through 1811 were cut in half before binding, with the fore-edges of both
leaves discarded. From 1812 onward, the entire second leaf was discarded, though the first leaf
was complete. Generally, the news coverage appears on the inside columns of page 2, so these
partial issues include good coverage of the Louisiana Purchase, the War of 1812, and more.
