1. Articles written about Commonwealth v. Hunt from the Boston Morning Post, a former Whig newspaper published in Boston, published in late October, 1840. These are included in the table of attached documents at the bottom of the page. I was able to take photographs of the newspaper at the New York Historical Society Library. The Boston Morning Post, which eventually became the Boston Post, was a popular daily newspaper in Boston and New England for over one hundred years before it closed in 1956. The paper was founded in 1831 by Boston businessmen Charles G. Greene and Williams Beals. Post was founded in November 1831 by two prominent Boston businessmen, Charles G. Greene and William Beals.

1. Articles written about Commonwealth v. Hunt from the Boston Morning Post, a former Democrat-leaning newspaper published in Boston, published in late October, 1840.

I was able to take photographs of the newspaper at the New York Historical Society Library. The Boston Morning Post, which eventually became the Boston Post, was a popular daily newspaper in Boston and New England for over one hundred years before it closed in 1956. The paper was founded in 1831 by Boston businessmen Charles G. Greene and Williams Beals - their names can be seen under the newspaper's title in the attached documents. The Post's pro-labor, pro-Democrat editorials, such as the one in the October 16th, 1840 edition, where often opposed by Whig-sympathetic editorials written in the Boston Advertiser. I tried to find the October, 1840 issues of the Advertiser which ran articles on Hunt, but was unable to find any in New York. (The Library of Congress has an excellent resource called Chronicling America which is a directory of historic American newspapers and where they can be accessed.)
