NILES' WEEKLY REGISTER, Baltimore, Oct. 4, 1817 Inside has what appears to be the entire text of the Constitution of the State of Indiana - taking multiple pages. Also included is a resolution for the construction of a monument to be placed in Paoli, Pennsylvania, in honor of those who died in the Paoli massacre at the hands of the British - with considerable details.
Sixteen pages, 6 1/4 by 9 3/4 inches, scattered foxing, otherwise in good condition.
