FOR THE DELAWARE GAZETTE. 'M. Mr. Editor, s Your establishment of a republican paper must give pleasure to cvety republican. The long period that has elapsed since the publicu lion of a paper in this state, devoted to the ad «1 /i vancement of pure republicanism, has, unques tionably, been the means ol" the great federal 11 * i influence that at present exists. It is time that sound and pun; principles be disseminated among the worthy and independant yeomen ol Delaware ; let us;] ien hail the commencement m '* of your paper as the epoch of republican Iege- i iteration in this state—and convince our great I sister states that we are not unworthy of asta tion in the ranks of democracy. No more wiil the calumnies with which the federal presse have for years teemed, pass uncontradicted, unrefuted—let federalism hid adieu to the sys tem of gulling and trapping which so success of Hilly has been practised on the unsuspecting peasantry of the state. The tales of " French influence, Two millions of dollars," Etc. ti have passed by, and all the talents of tue country" appear to be employed, if we may judge by their silence, in the coinage of some new tale which in its turn is to run through the channels of filth 'till some other bantling is produced by the wise men of the East."— Thus, Sir, passes their calumnies, generation generation, each gradually rising, till by on its accumulated weight, the " Babel" of fede 1 ralism tumbles to the " Tomb of the Capulets" there to rest unlamented, whilst proud repub licanism, toweling like the eagle, spreads its doctrines over unhappy EUROPE.

FEDERAL CLAIMS To the merit oj the arrangement with Brit ain. Extract from a speech of Mr Fisk in the House of Representatives May ol But there was one other remark, and the gentleman urged it as though he was really seiious. Although among the lust he made, it was not the least ex ta iniina ry. I had heard it made before I came to this House, Gut thought it war, intended merely to answer electioneering purposes, and not believed by those who made it. It was to this effect 1 that the present prospect, so fair, was the result of the ex ertions of the minority in this ccuntr) and particularly in Congress, I.CVCJ did believe that gentlemen who ilainico this as due to tiie exertions of the initiai i ty were or could be serious ; and when i heard it thrown out un the floor since, r could not but remind me of the fly placet, on ihe chariot wheel, exclaiming, •* Lo J ivhnt a dust rue files make /" it is real ly surprizing io me, and I am v. 1121;>2 to G confess it, though it may not be novel to those, (and there are many) who have more experience in legislation than I have, how a minority can comroul the majority.

It is repugnant to the very meaning of tin term f minority) in the English language For a moment let me ask you, sir, wua. system did they adtise? Even the las measure adopted on tbe subject of our for eign relations,viz, the non-intercourse law, was opposed by them ; and really, among the comparisons with which the gemlemui f:nm Virginia enlightens the members of this House, 1 re-collect one in rela ion to that kid, in which he said that it remin ded him of the man who had invented a mode td • letting off his gun by degrees." He not only disapproved the measure bui ridiculed it. Who adopted the measure, sir ? Who, had it proved d.sastinus, would have been called to account for it ? 1 he Minority ? No sir ; tbe majority. In ah popular governments and assemblies die re will be minorities. 'I here were minorid. s in our révolution ; but after our indepen dence was atcheived, we did not hear them claim the honor of it. There was a minor ity iu the convention of tbe United Stales, but we have not heard this minority say that it was owing to their exertions that this charter of our liberties was adopted. Really, sir, as it strikes my mind, an argu ment of this kind, scarcely merits an at tempt at serious refutation. Let me ask, sir, did the minority elect Mr Jefferson ? Dili they oi the protestors elect Mr Mail - son ? The gentleman sa«l, I recollect, that he does not consider the President as the administration—Do the minority consii tute it then ?

But, Edwin, 'tevas thine, thine the blessing-fraught lot, To call this perfection of beauty thy own ; To hail her the mistress of thee and thy cot, And leave other shepherds their fortune to moan. And well did thy merits, most id-fated youth, Deserve this lov'd maiden, for thee set apart, i, like her's, was all fondness and truth ; Whose bas«* Whose passion, like Mary's, arose from the heart. •curse on war, wheresoever it be 1 — But war * I'was dus tore the ' -»utb from her tender embrace, f\vas this forc'd her Edwin afar o'er the sea, And left the tear trickling adown lier sweet face !

Captain Hague ofthe ship Paragon sailed from Lisbon on the 7th June, and informs us that the news of the surrender of Oporto to the English, whereby a French army of 25,000 troops were made prisoners, reached Lisbon on the 1st. of June; and that in consequence thereof, the B"itish merchants, 8cc. who had It ft Oporto previous to the French taking posses sion of it were returning. It was also reported, that the Aus trians, had obtained a comph te vic tory over the French, in which the latter lost 25.000 men, including the killed, wounded and prisoners A considerable force of cavalry ar rived at Lisbon on the 2d June from England, destined for the interior of Portugal; and it was supposed they would proceed to Spain. The Bri tish and Spaniards were using every exertion to clear the country of the French, and it was supposed they would oompleatly effect that object, calculating that Austria would find sufficient employment fot the army of Bonaparte. It was also reported at Lisbon that Russia had DECLARED WAR AGAINST FRANCE. Captain Johnson of the ship Caro line from Cadiz, informs us that he had a Seville Gazette, which he un derstood contained the Russian dccla ration of war, but that lie was board eel on his passage by a British frigate, and gave it to the boarding officer. A British brig of war had arrived at Lisbon from Malta, and brought advices that on the 15th oi April a se on the Tyro! battle was fought vere and French ; between the Austrians that the advanced gnard of the Ans trinn army consisting ot 35.000 men. pulsed b> the French ar was twice re under command my of 50.000 men of prince Eugene Beauharnois ; that the archduke John came up with a de reserve of 20.000 men, and corps entirely defeated the French, who lost 20,000 killed, wounded, and ta the wounded ken prisoners ! among was Eugene Beauharnois.

XI)e dSa3ette, Wilmington , July 12 , 18 .■ IQ" In consequence of the indisposition oi one of the workmen, and the impossibility ol nrocuring temporary assistance, the attention if the Edi'or has been almost exclusively en ,raged, for a week past, in attending to the me c anical duties of the office. This circumstance lias prevented him from paying that attention to Ins out-doors business which be should oth erwise have done, and he hopes will be a suf ficient apology for his not waiting on some gentlemen and writing to others in di fièrent parts of the state, wiio have interested them selves in behalf of this establishment. Gen tlemen who hold subscription papers are re quested to make returns without delay. Sub scribers in town who may not have receive!! their papers will have the goodness to send for them to the office. Federalism. —It is our decided opinion, and we shall, by occasional essavs on the subject, endeavor to prove it well founded, that a party exists in this country, who, un der the imposing name of Federalists, or friends to our representative system of go vernment, are endeavoring to sap the very foundation of those institutions which they 1 role's so much to admire. In endeavor ing to expose the nefarious views of this party we shall exclude from any participa tion in their guilt a large portion of the yeomanry of this country, who, in the ho nest simplicity of their hearts, have been induced to give that credit to plausible pro fessions which was due to virtuous actions alone, To this honest class of citizens we particularly address ourselves ; for fno' many of them may have imbribed strong prejudices, which may he readily accounted for without in the smallest degree impeach ing their motives, we are well satisfied that it is ever their wish to he open to convic tion, and, when convinced, that they will not, from false pride or obstinancy, persist in the error of their ways, If, in endea voring to remove their prejudices, we dis couver our own, we trust they will do the same justice to our intentions that we are disposed to do to theirs. That the leaders of the Federal party so called, entertain an undue partiality in fa vor of English manners, i customs, and, some of them, even form ol government we conscientiously believe. That they used every artifice during Mr. Adams's ad ministration to drag us into a war with I France and an alliance with Great Britain is abundantly manifest from the writings <7 Mr. Adam, of which we shall say more hereafter j and their systematic opposition to Mr. Jefferson's administration was in •ended, no doubt, to coerce him into a de grading accommodation with Kngland and war with France. We trust we have neither prepossession in favor of, nor pre judice against, either France or Great br ain. We rely on the disinterestedfriend ship of neither of them, and belies e our policy is to preserve a strict and guarded neutrality with them Loth. This polity has evidently been pursued by our govern ment, and so far has succeeded in r>-< S' rv ing to us the blessings of peace. We sin cerely wish for a good understanding with Great Britain, but not at the expence of a war with France. It is our interest to lie at peace with both, and it is not less their interests to be at peace with us. No real American would wish our present happy form of government po htudé.y a connection with either Knglaiul or France, and every true republican must fioni his heart detest the mat , or set of men, who would wish to deprive us of those inestimable privileges which wete purchased by the best blond of our countrymen. That a number of the had ing characters of the party called Federal, have uniformly, been stronger advocates for the British form of government than for mir own is a fact which cannot I deni ed. When the convention of the United States were in si ssion, debating upon a phi of government for the States, Alexander Hamilton, who was long acknowledged as tlie head of the party, advi t and very warm ly the erection of a monarchy. He has since frequently declared, in ihe most ur: qualified terms, that "a public debt is a public blessing," —which, in other words, means that ih» poor and laboring classes of the community .ought to be taxed out ot their substance, to support (lie prid- aud pamper the luxury of lordling stock holders. In the debate upon the ratification of Jay's British 'Treaty, a number of the U suing federalists advocated the monsirou and. abominable doctrine, ihat a whole state■ or anv number of stall s short of a majority, might he ceded by treaty to a foreign nation ' Thus, according to this duerriu . by the concurrence of a corrupt ambassador, and a federal presi lent and sen.i e, the state of Massachusetts, and anv otlu r se veil states, might be ceded to Gnat bri :am, on condition of her appointing 77/no. thy Pikering to rule over them. 1 hat the object of the'leaclers of this party has uni formly been hostility to Use Unit m tine, op. position to the laws is evbley their conduct, both in and out of ; - g produce thC~f,,f cases in point, we owing extracts from their memorials, resoluuo mis, &c. which have been announced in tin f c - deral presses ironi one e extreme of the Uni on to the other. as worthy of all imitation.

Our hope anti consolation rest with the legislature of our state, to whom it is competent to devise means of re lief against unconstitutional measures of the ge neral government.— That your powers are adé quate to tlie object is evident front the rguni ration of the confederacy/ /" Who, reading the foregoing extract, on would suppose tlie authors of it to be sub jects ol the only free representative govern ment in the world. The laws of which thev complain were sanctioned by an imposing majority of the immediate représentatif es ol the people, and an attemp' to oppose the will ofthat majority was striking at the very vitals of republicanism, But if this conduct be so very reprehensible in indivi duals, what must we think of a party who could give the following sentiments the sanction of a legislative name.

FOR THE DELAWARE GAZETTE. It is truly laughable to hear the tale of " French influence" raised by Federalists to blast the well earned honor and reputation of tiie late administration, and contrast with the hypocritical, flattering cant, bestowed in the form of praise on Mr. Madison, one ^of the members of that administration, u4io,-while occupying a seat at the council board of Mr. Jefferson, received an ample share of federal abuse. The charge of being a dependant ol conjured up in the character of a France, Can an edi French citizen, is not forgotten, tor, who walks ^trough society and asserts a claim to honesty, have so little regard to his not to blush at assertions, own feelings, as which among mankind would be sufficient so to stamp liai on his brazen front as to destroy forever confidence in him? Can political opi nions so change, so alter the noblest, best and most exalted feelings df the heart, that the man, who, with the utmost sang fluid will suf fer the epithet of political scoundrel to pass unnoticed, would, divested ol that locality, like a gentleman run any one through who would intimate aught against nis fair name? If this is honor, this the character of Gentlemen Federalists—I thank my God that I am a he By whom is the a-d low born democrat. sad lament raigecl«? Is it by men, who, from pure disinterested motives, anxiously watch over the republic? .No. Is it by the war-worn veterans, whose blood washed the plains of Columbia in her struggle? No. Who then are the wretches that basely hope to tarnish the bright honors of the author df the Declaration of Independence ? They are those, who, " would rather be a dog and bay at the moon than own themselves Americans." British hirelings, your true disciples of Cobbet and Fenno, possessing neither probity nor truth— British incendiaries, who, like the midnight assassin, enters the peaceful dwelling of sn honest man at the dead hour of night dealing death and destruction around him ; whose ghastly grin betokens his secret delight at be holding in one burning mass the accumulated labour and the saving industry of his honest and independant victims. Such are the au thors, and such, 1 almost said the believers, of the unfounded calumny. To enter into an examination of the charge would lengthen this piece beyond the limits of an ordinary commu nication, Mr. Editor. On this subject you will again hear from T. T. Federalism all aback .—It is amusing to look at the contortions of federalism in va rious parts of the United States. As it is impossible for any man of candour to find fault with Jefferson and Madison, and as the majority in favor of their administra tions commues daily to increase, it is ex pected that the leaders of federalism will set their wits to work to conjure up some new phantom with which to alarm the peo ple. Previous to Mr. Jefferson's election, religion was made the stalking-horse for federalism to halt upon. We were told that if Mr. JeffersoD should be chosen, re ligion and morality would inevitably perish. It was said that he would tear down all the meeting-houses, execute all the priests, and make a huge funeral pyre of all the bibles, psalters and psalm-books in the country, Notwithstanding these bloody-bone stories, parson Spring is yet allowed to fulminate, al)( ] jj ri Bramble to blow his blasts ol fana iical fury. Nay, so entirely unrestrained are they, that if'they were even to toast » the Pope and the D —they would come with impunity.-It cannot be denied that some of our meeting-houses have been torn ( j ()W n, hut it has been for the purpose of building more elegant, commodious and spacious ones in their places. When we view our streets on Sunday ando'os rve the mu hi U tde devoutly going to meetiug, we cannot but confess that religion was never j n a , T , ore flourishing condition than at pie senft () ur tabernacles were never mote fully attended, nor the ministers more hand sointly supported. So much tor federal predictions concerning Mr. Jefferson's hos tility to religion and morality. A little while previous to Mr. Madison's election, we were told that he was a para I s ; te 0 f Bonaparte, and a member of the Legion of Honor. It was said that Madi- son had affirmed that " France wanted mo- ney, and we must give it to hek 1" But as ' soun as he had completed the settlemen i w i t h England, he was changed, in th • twinkling of an eye.' He was no longe r die fViend of Bonaparte, but the staunch adherent of John Bull. Madison however remains the same. He studies the inter est of the United States and observes an impartial conduct toward European nations. He will not be intimidated by the cry of French influence, however boisterous the Pickering Junto may be in raising it : but will continue the true American course, regardless of the clamorous taction. It appears, trom all the information which can be obtained, that it was the determina tion of the Junto to keep up this cry agains '1 his w as the monster un Mr. Madison. der whose auspices they were to act. 1 hey had begun to thrum upon this string, some Since the late time before he was chosen. adjustment with England, however it has been totally suppressed until very lately but we now find that it is renewed in the The people must N.

The very important disclosures Blade by this gentleman in a series of letters lutel-y-pyblished J. in the Boston Patriot have justly drawn lorth general attention, admiration and applause.— He unravels many points and traits ni lus ad ministration ; the intrigues of Hamilton, Pick ering, and the rest of the British parttzails in his cabinet ; their endeavours to plunge us m to war witii France, and draw us into an alli ance with England, his resistance, their disap pointment, and the subsequent attack made upon him by Alexander Hamilton—these ami other schemes he unfolds in the most foi cible, The ascerulen sprightly and candid manner, cy of the British faction had cast Mr. Adams Thea'Unand into the shade of unpopularity, sedition bills drew him into odium. When we read the perpetual struggles he made against them : when we hear him declare he was wea ry of office, and would have resigned it to get rid of them—we are compelled to pity him we once abhorred, ami to declare, that John Adame, though greatly misled in some instances, was always correct in his intentions. We anticipate the most happy results from To unmask the British faction, these papers, is to overthrow it. If John Adams should over turn the F.ssex Junto, by tile patriotic deed and discoveries, he will have earned a mans i leum—he will attract everlasting graiitttd .

Fr< The Austrians, in their march, met, in go, Sassille, a French army of 35,000 men commanded by the Vice Hoy Eugene the B-auharnois, and the general of brigade Gtllet, with 80 pieces of artillery, which, together with the reinforcement brought by general Cervelloni, who came from Ita Iv with 15,000 men, making a total of 50, 000 men. The Austrians, commanded by Arch Duke John, commenced the attack ing with an army of 35,000 men, and wete twice obliged to fall back ; but, having bee n mined by 20,000 men from the Tyrol, from to Seravate, and Ceneda, of infantry and ca to valry, attacked the French armu, in the rear. The French srmv, wa* tbGs placed between two fires. The battle lasted the whole dav of the lGth. The French after losing a great number of men, abandoned the field to the victorious Austr.uns— scarcely 15,000 men escaped, whose re treat was favored by the conflagration of the village lloneo, which they set on fire to favor their retreat. The loss of the ene my was in killed, wounded aud prison ers, upwards of 20.000 men.-The Vice Roy was wounded, and Genrtal Serras was made prisoner, with a number of officers of rank. The Italian regiment called Velites laid down their arms, bat were afterwards compelled by the French covalry, to take them up again.

Letters from Rivas of the 28th ult. men tion that General Cuesta had advanced his head quai tet s ftonr Monasterio, to Fuente del Maestre. The Dutch papers mention about a 1 at tic in Polonia, Archduke Ferdinand com manded there ; but say nothing of its result, convincing proof that the French were a defeated, and it is believed that Warsovta had fallen into his hands. We learn from Seville, that it is certain, that peace has been made between Russia and England, and that Russia has entered into the coalition against the grand usurper of Europe With impatience, we expect a confii (nation, as we have good reason to give credit to tins news, which is given by Aiava, who had arr ived at Seville.

In the preceding columns will be found a detailed account of the successes of the Austrians in Italy.— Since it was in type we have seen French statements of some of the same transactions, which give them a very different colouring. From a careful compa rison of dates and circumstances we are inclined to believe the Austrian account very mu oh exaggerated, In speaking of the engagement on tiie Tyrol the 16th of April, the French barely state tha» a part of their tnops gave battle to the Austrian army. That the battle commenced at nil f'clock in the morning, and was very obstinately maintained on both sides.

Dataset Card for Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers 1770–1810

Dataset Summary

A dataset drawn from the Library of Congress Chronicling America digital collection, part of the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP). This dataset includes page-level records with images, OCR text, and publication metadata for newspapers published between 1770 and 1810. It provides a foundation for research, machine learning, and public history projects in honor of the 250th anniversary of the United States.

Dataset Description

For the initiative Revolution Crossroads, the Smithsonian Institution prepared this dataset using data, metadata, and digital objects publicly available from the Chronicling America digital collection.

The dataset consists of text and images from newspapers published in the United States between 1770 and 1810. It was created by the Library of Congress as part of the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP), a partnership between the Library and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).

The dataset includes:

Approximately 340,000 page-level records representing U.S. newspapers published between 1770 and 1810
Metadata fields exported from the Chronicling America API and converted to Parquet format for analysis
Links to digital surrogates (page images, thumbnails, PDFs, and OCR XML files) with persistent identifiers
Extracted text (OCR) for all records

This dataset was prepared to support research and experimentation at the intersection of cultural heritage and artificial intelligence. It provides a structured corpus for examining Revolutionary-era newspapers, testing OCR performance on historical typography, and developing tools for large-scale text analysis, visualization, and discovery.

Dataset Details

Prepared by: Smithsonian Institution, Office of Digital & Innovation staff
Shared by: Revolution Crossroads
Language(s): English
License: Public domain

Dataset Sources

Repository: Chronicling America, Library of Congress
Program: National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP), a partnership between the Library of Congress and the National Endowment for the Humanities

Curation Rationale

This dataset was prepared as part of the Revolution Crossroads project in recognition of the 250th anniversary of the United States. It makes a large-scale collection of Revolutionary-era newspapers available in a structured format to enable a wide range of applications, including:

Studying the circulation of news and ideas in the early United States
Exploring themes, language, and public opinion during the Revolutionary era and early republic
Evaluating OCR quality on historical typefaces and 18th-century print conventions (e.g., “long s” characters)
Developing retrieval and discovery tools for large-scale historical text corpora
Supporting genealogy, public history, and educational projects that use newspapers as sources

Dataset Creation

This dataset was assembled for Hugging Face by the Smithsonian Institution’s Office of Digital & Innovation staff as part of the Revolution Crossroads project. Data was accessed from the Chronicling America “data” backend (https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/data/) to avoid API rate limits and reduce load on Library of Congress servers.

Batch information containing issue lists was retrieved, filtered to the target date range (1770–1810), and issue metadata was downloaded in MODSXML format along with OCR text in ALTOXML format. These sources were then combined and flattened so that each record corresponds to a single page of a newspaper issue, and stored in Parquet format for efficient analysis and hosting on Hugging Face.

Data Collection and Processing

Processing Steps

Accessed Chronicling America “data” backend (https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/data/) to retrieve batch information and issue lists
Filtered issues to the Revolutionary-era date range (1770–1810)
Downloaded issue metadata in MODSXML (bibliographic metadata) format and OCR text in ALTOXML (OCR text + structural information) format
Additional newspaper title metadata (newspaper_title and place_of_publication) was pulled from the Library of Congress API, based on the lccn list from the filtered issues.
Combined metadata and text into a single dataset keyed to issue/page identifiers
Flattened into one record per newspaper page
Stored in Parquet format for efficient analysis and hosting on Hugging Face

Supporting Files Available

XML-formatted data from data backend are available in the Files tab:

"mods_xml_records" - contains the MODS XML source files for the records from the dataset, stored in directories for each of newspaper lccns (title series numbers). The file naming convention is "[lccn][date][edition_order].xml".

Quality Considerations

OCR accuracy varies depending on print quality, typography, and page condition
Historical typesetting, e.g., “long s” characters resembling “f”, or "ligatured ct" resembling a "d" or an "f", may result in misread text
Metadata reflects the Catalog at the time of export and is updated by the Library of Congress on an ongoing basis

Dataset Structure

Each record in the dataset corresponds to a single newspaper page. Issue-level metadata (title, place, date, edition) is repeated across all pages of that issue.

Source Data

Collection

The dataset is drawn from the Chronicling America Historic American Newspapers digital collection from the Library of Congress, which contains images, full text (OCR), and metadata for over 23 million digitized public domain newspaper pages originally published in the United States from the 1700s through 1963. Chronicling America is a product of the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP), a partnership between the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the Library of Congress.

Program

The Chronicling America Historic American Newspapers collection provides access to select digitized newspaper pages produced by the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP), a partnership between the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the Library of Congress. As part of the program, cultural heritage institutions apply for and receive awards from an NEH award program to select and digitize newspaper pages representing the history, geographic coverage, and events of note for their state or territory. Visit the Library of Congress' NDNP website for more information on program guidelines. As part of its role in the NDNP, the Library of Congress also contributes digitized newspaper pages from its own collections to Chronicling America.

Historical Background

Newspapers are frequently cited as being the “first draft" of U.S. history, capturing the day-to-day life of a community better than any other published record. With the goal of preserving this important format, from 1982 through 2011, the Library of Congress and the National Endowment for the Humanities collaborated to fund and manage the United States Newspaper Program (USNP), a highly successful effort to locate, catalog, and preserve newspapers published throughout the United States. USNP projects were established and funded in each state and territory to survey every possible repository in an attempt to locate extant issues of every newspaper, inventory and catalog those titles in a national database, and preserve endangered files on microfilm following national and international preservation standards.

In 2003, the NEH and the Library embarked on another partnership, the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP). The NDNP is a long-term effort that builds on the legacy of the USNP by increasing access through digitization to the valuable information generated by the USNP. The NDNP provides an opportunity for institutions to select and contribute digitized newspaper content to a freely accessible, national newspaper resource, Chronicling America.

Original Format

The newspapers in Chronicling America were originally published in newsprint, however participants in NDNP primarily scan from 35mm negative microfilm on which the newsprint was captured. Microfilm standards vary, but many historical newspapers in this dataset were microfilmed under the auspices of the United States Newspaper Program (USNP), 1982–2011. While the technical approach for NDNP digitization is primarily based on images scanned from negative microfilm, some amounts of NDNP batches may consist of images scanned from the original newsprint, positive microfilm, microfiche, or preservation facsimile copies, provided that technical specifications are followed. The original format type is specified in the metadata.

Source Data Producers

The source data (historical newspapers) was produced by people affiliated with the newspapers (reporters, editors, contributors, etc).

Rights

The Library of Congress believes that the newspapers in Chronicling America are in the public domain or have no known copyright restrictions. Newspapers published in the United States more than 95 years ago are in the public domain in their entirety. Responsibility for making an independent legal assessment of an item and securing any necessary permissions ultimately rests with persons desiring to use the item.

For more information on Library of Congress policies and disclaimers regarding rights and reproductions, see https://www.loc.gov/legal/

Personal and Sensitive Information

No known personal or sensitive information is included beyond what appeared in publicly circulated newspapers of the time. Users should be aware that newspapers may contain outdated or offensive terminology reflecting the period in which they were created.

Considerations for Using the Data

Risks and Limitations

The dataset contains historical materials with language that does not always match the language preferred by members of the communities depicted. It may include negative stereotypes or words that offend. These materials reflect the views of their creators, not the Library of Congress or the United States government. Historical materials may also contain factual errors and should be understood in the context of their particular time and place.

Machine-readable text in the dataset was created using Optical Character Recognition (OCR). OCR is an automated process that converts the visual image of text into machine-readable characters, allowing computer software to search for words, phrases, numbers, or other elements. While OCR is a powerful tool, errors in the process are unavoidable and are present throughout the data, particularly when source images are degraded or typography is unusual.

For content published before 1810, historical typesetting, e.g., “long s” characters resembling “f”, or "ligatured ct" resembling a "d" or an "f", may result in misread text."

Metadata and digitized content are updated by the Library of Congress on an ongoing basis.

Recommendations

Researchers should validate extracted information against images when accuracy is critical, and be cautious about treating OCR text as complete or authoritative. Consultation of the Chronicling America collection is recommended for the most up-to-date records.
