It is believed that this Digest indicates very nearly every Florida item of historical value to be found in the Niles Register. Sometimes preliminary notes of events based on hearsay were published and later corrected or supplant by more accurate or complete data; in such cases the preliminary matter is not included herein. A few of the great number of special articles, accounts of inventions, and other items (not particularly relating to Florida) are noted at the end of the Florida record for each volume, sub-headed "General"... Explanatory page in Digest.
From Bill Earle Niles' Register Index Collection website: Hezekiah Niles founded The Weekly Register in 1811, and it continued in one form or another until 1849. During its run, it had four editors, three titles, and was published in three different cities. Editors: Hezekiah Niles, William Ogden Niles, Jeremiah Hughes, and George Beatty. Titles: The Weekly Register, Niles' Weekly Register, and Niles' National Register. (Oddly, the name by which it is almost invariably referred to now, Niles' Register, is one title that the work never actually bore.). Places of publication: Baltimore, Washington, Philadelphia. .Over 38 years, Niles’ Register published 75 volumes, each covering a 6-month period. Most volumes were 416 pages, although some were longer; the total number of pages in the work exceeds 30,000. Three abbreviated issues of a proposed volume 76 of Niles' appeared in September, 1849. These were numbered 13, 14, and 15. (Apparently, numbers 1-12 were never published.) The contents of these three issues are not included in this cumulative index.
Includes index to article titled "View of East Florida in 1817 published in the Nov. 15, 1817 issue of the Niles Register. Article itself can be found in the Oct. 1940 issue of the Florida Historical Quarterly which is located on the periodical shelf.
