Democratic Lamp or Winchester Aurora

• ID: 511
• End Date: ca. November 21, 1809
• Frequency: Weekly
• Lineage ID: 119
• Proprietors: Joseph A. Lingan
• Start Date: June 27, 1809
• Variant Number: Winchester 08-01
• Notes: Lingan parted company from his partner Matthias Bartgis in March 1809, so putting their Philanthropist into suspension; when he resumed publication, the weekly had a new title and focus, thus it is recorded here as a distinct publication, as it is in most references. Only two numbers survive; earliest (August 22, 1809) establishes starting date seen here; other is for November 21, 1809; publication ended shortly thereafter (or with) that issue, as Lingan sold his press to Jonathan Foster, who then used it to print his new Republican Constellation on January 2, 1810.
