Impartial Observer

• ID: 346
• End Date: ca. July 2, 1807
• Frequency: Weekly
• Lineage ID: 82
• Proprietors: Samuel Brooks
• Start Date: April 18, 1807
• Variant Number: Richmond 14-04
• Notes: Issue of April 18, 1807 (vol. 1: no. 40) ended a seventy-five day suspension; issued on a Tuesday, announcing subsequent numbers would issue on Mondays, then the only day of week when a paper was not issued in Richmond, so changing day-of-issue from previous Saturday schedule; a later report by a contemporary states Courtney was now its printer, though paper does not evince such production credit.
  Last known issue is for July 2, 1807; as that was no. 50 of vol. 1, it is possible that Brooks ceased publication with no. 52, ending a full-volume run two weeks later (July 16th); but July 2nd number may also be the terminal issue, so indefinite end-date noted here.
