Fish, Pickled. Niles' Weekly Register, Baltim
Fish, Pickled. Niles' Weekly Register, Baltimore, Apr. 6, 1816. Fascinating variety of the latest news, including letter of William Henry Harrison, "Remains of Washington," and a charming and exhaustive "Statement of Exports" of the U.S., including "fish, pickled" (36,141 barrels), "oil, whale and other fish," "skins and furs," amd many other items, with quantities or values. A list of countries "whither exported" includes China. Harrison, then Speaker of the House, urges "that no pains be spared to ascertain the guilt or innocence of the late war, for the diversion of public funds to individual purposes would have been equally fatal with treason...." Other content includes the "splendid session" of the Virginia legislature, Georgia sugar, etc. Light foxing, else about fine.
