COLUMBIAN CENTINEL, Boston, March 14, 1801  Near the top of page 2, beneath an introductory paragraph, is Thomas Jefferson's last message to the Senate as the President pro tempore before he would assume the highest office of the nation. This address is signed by him in type: Thomas Jefferson. This is followed by "The Senate's Answer".
But the most significant content then follows, headed: "President Jefferson's Speech" which has a prefacing statement reading: "This day, at 12 o'clock, Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States, took the oath of office in the Senate Chamber, in presence of the Senate, the Members of the House of Representatives, the Public Officers, etc. Previously to which he delivered the following ADDRESS..." and what follows is Jefferson's inaugural address which takes about 1 1/2 columns and is signed by him in script type: Thomas Jefferson. Page 2 has a few other small items relating to the establishment of Jefferson's administration.
Four pages, archival strengthening at the spine where some blank portions were missing, light toning, minor wear at the margins, generally in good condition.
