THE MASSACHUSETTS CENTINEL, Boston, Dec. 2, 1789
* President George Washington on liberty
* United States mass size
A nice newspaper from the very first year of the federal government. Page 3 has a descriptive article on the new country, beginning: "The whole territory of the United States contains, by computation, a million of square miles in which are 640 millions of acres; of these 51 millions are water...The Western Territory (so called) contains by computation about 411,000 square miles..." with more (see).
Page 2 also has: "Last week, his Excellency the VICE PRESIDENT of the United States, sat out from his seat at Braintree for New York." Another pg. 3 item reflects upon the: "...Circular Letter of our beloved President to the several states at the conclusion of the late war, which declares that 'Whatever measures have a tendency to dissolve the Union, or contribute to violate or lessen its sovereign authority, ought to be considered as hostile to the liberties & independence of America."
Four pages, very nice condition.
