COLUMBIAN CENTINEL, Boston, June 16, 1790  Nearly half a column on page 2 is taken up with an Act of Congress signed in script type by George Washington, and in block type by John Adams & Thomas Jefferson, and headed with an engraving of a heraldic eagle.
Page 2 also has reports from Congress, and an article headed: "Newspapers" being a bit of American history of newspapers. Page 3 has much from congress, with a list of appointments, mention that the President had returned from Sand Hook, some talk on the Assumption Act, and other political tidbits.
Four pages, a few archival repairs at margins, good condition.
