The Virginia Monitor

• ID: 394
• End Date: ca. October 23, 1822
• Frequency: Weekly
• Lineage ID: 0
• Proprietors: Edward Bell
• Start Date: September 21, 1820
• Variant Number: Shepherdstown 06-01
• Notes: Earliest known number was issued on March 22, 1821 (I:27), which establishes calculated start date reported here; start is three weeks after apparent demise of prior Informer and Weekly Advertiser of Thomas Trice; seems Bell acquired that press to publish this weekly; he was still conducting paper when brother & foreman Samuel died September 23, 1821. LC catalogue dates paper to October 23, 1822, based on new numbering scheme begun by successor Nathaniel Mitchell on that date; the numbers noted in Brigham and Norona & Shetler were not found by the U.S. Newspaper Project, so no LC catalogue entry has been created for this title.
