Thomas Jefferson when Secretary of State....

Item # 708972 ·

COLUMBIAN CENTINEL, Boston, Sept. 7, 1793  Page 2 has a "Circular" concerning "...the unjustifiable vexation and spoliation committed on our merchant vessels by the privateers of the powers at war..." and stating that due attention will be given to the matter, signed in type: TH: Jefferson.
Uncommon to have a document from Jefferson when he was Sec. of State.
Other items include: "Proceedings relative to The President's Proclamation of Neutrality" and from the National Convention of France the: "Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizens". 
The 35 points noted in this preamble to the French Constitution focus on the "common welfare" and natural, inalienable rights like equality and liberty. It outlines a more democratic and socialist vision compared to 1789, emphasizing the duty of society to provide public aid to citizens.
Four pages, never-trimmed margins, very nice condition.
