DUNLAP'S AMERICAN DAILY ADVERTISER, Philadelphia, February 4, 1791 

* James Wilson college lectures
* Declaration of Independence signer


The front page has a notice headed "Law Lectures", that reads, in part: "By the Honorable James Wilson, L.L.D. Professor of Laws in the College and Academy of Philadelphia, will be delivered on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday...at the College..." plus details about ticket information. Wilson was a signatory of the Declaration of Independence, representing Pennsylvania.
About Wilson & these lectures, Wikipedia notes that: "The University of Pennsylvania Law School in Philadelphia officially traces its foundation to Wilson's lectures."
A nice item about a Declaration signer and great to have on the front page. News of the day with other ads. Four pages in nice condition.
