Nearly half of the front page & a bit of page 2 contain: "The Charge of Chief Justice Jay to the Grand Juries of the Eastern Circuit".
Much of page 2 is taken up with reports from "Congress, House of Representatives".
Page 3 has a brief yet significant report from Congress noting:
* ...brought in a bill authorizing & empowering the President of the United States to purchase such a part of the tract of land at West Point as the public service may render necessary--
read the first time which would ultimately become the military academy at West Point (see).
Pg. 3 also contains Two Acts of Congress headed with a nice engraved heraldic eagle, each one signed in type by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams. Very nice condition, 4 pgs.
