THE INDEPENDENT CHRONICLE & UNIVERSAL ADVERTISER, Boston, July 10, 1800  

* 1st president Paul Revere
* "Board of Health" notice

Although we've had other newspapers with notices from Paul Revere as President of the Health Office, this is perhaps the most detailed.
Found on page 4 is a notice headed: "Health Office" with various details, signed in type by its President: Paul Revere.
Four pages, small loss at a top corner of the back leaf, otherwise in nice condition.

background: The July 10, 1800, issue of The Independent Chronicle & Universal Advertiser serves as a vital record of Paul Revere’s sophisticated leadership during Boston’s formative years of public administration. As the first President of the Board of Health, Revere utilized this detailed notice to enforce rigorous quarantine protocols and sanitation mandates designed to shield the city from "malignant fever" (yellow fever) during the dangerous summer months. The text highlights his authority over Castle Island, where he regulated the entry of maritime vessels and the "purification" of cargo, while simultaneously commanding citizens to remediate "nuisances" like stagnant water and decaying matter. This document effectively captures Revere’s transition from a Revolutionary agitator to a disciplined civic bureaucrat, applying the same meticulousness found in his silversmithing to the urgent, life-saving task of early American urban governance.
