[POLITICS - MONROE, James (1758-1831)]. Niles Weekly Register. Baltimore, 6 December 1823. 

[MONROE, James (1758-1831)]. Niles Weekly Register. Vol. I, No. 14. Baltimore, MD: H. Niles, 6 December 1823. 


16pp., folio, 6 1/8 x 9 5/8 in. Disbound (toning, occasional spotting/staining, some chipping to edges). 

The issue contains a complete printing of President James Monroe's 1823 State of the Union Address, which first articulated the Monroe Doctrine of non-colonization of the Western Hemisphere by European powers. The doctrine, which was written by Secretary of State John Quincy Adams, was central to US foreign policy for much of the 19th and early 20th centuries.
