And don't report the discovery of this “rare old newspaper” ditor of the local paper and expect him mething it for his paper, nor ask him to find out how much it's worth f you do, ye likely to be disappointed. For the chances of its being a “genuine, original Ulster County Cazette” are nj ximately one in a million If It should be, he own price ] proximately 1.000000 to 1 that It is, your copy is one of the innun famous old new to twenty-five cents a w're pretty you could name your ' pe #1 - ¢ ’ oe a and probably get It. If, as it's ap rable reproductions of that wr, then it's worth from ten a curiosity and no more This edition of the Ulster County Gazette has been called “the most famous of all American historical ghosts™ and it has taken nearly a century to lay that ghost. It is true that there once was such a paper, that it was established May 5, 1708, at Kingston, N. Y., by Samuel Freer and his son, Samuel 8. Freer, both staunch Federalists In the early days of the Republie, and that in the edition of January 4, 1800, it did devote a large amount of space to the account of Washington's funeral, 3ut the Ulster County Gazette went out of existence in 1822 and of the total edition (probably not more than 300 copies) for that date most of them went the way of any newspaper after it has been read. A few probably were saved by those who are accustomed to preserve news papers containing an account of an important historical event but even these copies seem to have disappeared eventually, How then to account for the thousands of “reproductions” or “reprints” which have flooded the country and which many possessors believe to be “originals”? As a matter of fact, the making of reproductions began as far back as 1825. According to the best evidence ob- tainable, reprints of the January 4, 1800, edition were issued from the shop of the People's Ad: vocate, published in Kingston by Samuel 8. Freer (who had started that paper In 1824), as & quarter century memorial to Washington and were first offered for sale on July 4, 1825. In 1848 another edition of reprints was Issued In honor of the fiftieth anniversary of the found- ing of the paper and again in 1850-—-the fiftieth year after Washington's death, Other reprints probably appeared during the fifties and sixties but the real flood began in 1876. In that year the Centennial exposition in Philadelphia revived Interest in the Revolution, In Washington and in American history, in gen. eral, and there were several reprints of the famous Ulster County Gazette hy printers who saw 8 chance In this to make some extra money and 0 turned out tens of thousands of copies, One of them, a certain Walter Gilliss, Is said to have had the contract for supplying them for sale on the exposition grounds and more than 100,000 copies were sold at five cents each. In fact they were distributed as souvenirs of the exposition by the armful. So if your father or your grandfather or any other member of your family attended the Centennial exposition that year, the chances are that the copy of the Gazette which you have just found in that old trunk was one of the Gilliss re prints, The issuing of reproductions did not end in 1876, however. It has been going on icerrily ever since as recently as 1923 was printed an American yl of 1300 pif A sandidy #9 $e ‘ ow etd » - 3 ve tabee ve fi ¥wtiny ich 80 famous had the Ulster County Ga- zeite and iis many reprints become that years ago efforts were made to learn if there was in existence anywhere a genuine, original copy of the paper. Naturally, hundreds of copies were produced as originals but all of them were soon proved to be reproductions. Finally authorities on the subject were ready to declare that “not a single genuine, original copy of the Ulster County Gazette for January 4, 1800, is now in existence.” And then the impossible happened! In No- vember, 1000, the Library of Congress received an inquiry regarding three issues of the Gazette —December 28, 1799, and January 4 and January 11, 1800. Several years previous to that time Clarence 8, Brigham of the American Antiqua- rian society had been told of the existence of three original issues of the Gazette but had been unable to locate them. The dates of these were the same as the dates on those reported to the Library of Congress, The Library of Congress knew of this and was not slow in putting two and two together, The result was that it se- cured from thelr owner, Mrs. Mary Crawford Lydon, descendant of Peter Decker, a -Revolu- tionary soldier who lived in Ulster county near Kingston, the three originals and they are now in the national library. So at last a famous historical ghost was laid and it was proved that there WAS an original Ulster County Gazelte for January 4, 1800, In existence, And now as to the method of telling an "orig- inal” from a “reproduction.” There is one sim- ple test. Look at the second line of the heading and see whether or not there is a comma after the word “County.” If there is none, that copy of the paper is probably an original. A genuine copy must also have the following reading for page one, column four, line one: “Command the town: and notwithstanding.” Other qualifiea- tions, according to a circular Issued by the Li- brary of Congress, to prove that the copy is an original are as follows: 1. It should be printed on the paper used in 1800, hand made from rags, soft, pliable and rough in texture, 2. This paper should have as watermarks throughout, slender parallel lines 1 1-16 to 1 3-10 inches apart, 8. Title in italle capitals should measure 6 15-16 Inches In length, 4. Priot should show the blurred edges of hand inked, hand press work, 5. The second column on 1 should meas. ure 2 78 inches In width ween rules, and 18 84 Inches in length, 6. The old style “s” should appear frequently as in the words “Published,” and “Ulster” in the heading and in the words “President,” “House,” “Representatives,” and many more In the text. 7.

One full-length mourning slug should ap- pear on page 2; and 2 wage 3. ull-length slug on f. Mourning rules should he used between columns and across top and bottom and along outer edge of pages 2 and 3, 10. The “Last Notice” on page 3, column 2, concerns “the estate of Johannis Jansen” and should be signed by “Johannis I. Jansen,” The word “deceased” is spelled “Deceased” the second “¢™ being out of line Thanks to the innumerable reproductions of the January 4, 1800, issue of the Gazette, most people are familiar with the account of Wash ington's funeral which appeared in that issue But the issue of December 28, 1700 Is fully as interesting as the more famous issue, for in it is found the announcement of his death as it first reached the people of Kingston, It contains ex. tracts from two letters from Alexandria, dated December 15, the day after his death, giving the preparations for his funeral. “We are close to our houses and act as we should do if one of our he is buried, which wlil not be until Wednesday or Thursday.” . “As a mark of respect to him all business will be suspended here tomor. row: and it will stand recorded forever here after, as a day of mourning.” The news story itself reads as follows: ON ‘Monday last, the Inhabitants of this town, received the mournful information of the death of GENERAL WASHINGTON, — On this unhappy event sensations of grief and sorrow pervaded every countenance, In order to pay their last homage of re spect for that great and good man, the Re. formed Dutch Church was dressed In mourn. ing, and the bell thereof muffled and tolled from twelve to one o'clock for several days, Yesterday being the anniversary of St John the Evangelist, the members of Livings- ton Lodge, convened together and celebrated the day In a manner highly redounding to their honor.
