April 02, 1795

FEDERAL ORRERY, Boston, April 2, 1795 

* 1st native American dentist
* Josiah Flagg retires


The front page has: "A Description of the Monument Consecrated to Liberty". Page 2 has a nice letter signed in type by: Josiah Flagg, the first American-born dentist who also is credited with designing the first dental chair. He also was one of the Sons of Liberty during the Revolutionary War as well as being a friend of Paul Revere. This is essentially his retirement letter (see).
Four pages, great condition. Published by Thomas Paine, but not the famous Thomas Paine.
