GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES & PHILADELPHIA DAILY ADVERTISER, Dec. 28, 1797
* Uncommon 18th century American publication
* During President John Adams administration
The capital of the United States was in Philadelphia at this time, while the District of Columbia was under construction.
The front page is filled with advertisements including several illustrated ship ads. Inside has reports from the federal Congress. And over half of the back page is taken up with: "Proposals For Carrying the Public Mails..." with a terrific list of the various routes from town to town, by state.
Four pages, wide never-trimmed margins, very nice condition.
