THE HERALD; A GAZETTE FOR THE COUNTRY, New York Sept. 3, 1796  Page 2 has no fewer of five dispatches signed by Buonaparte in which he provides the latest on his military efforts in Europe.
Page 3 has an article beginning: "The legislature of the state of Kentucky..passing an act...for he purpose of cutting a wagon road, 30 feet wide, through the wilderness..." with more detail.
The back page has two notices concerning: "Lands of the United States" from the Northwest Territory which will be sold at auction, with the details including a very lengthy chart noting the acres, number of lots, etc. Each is signed in type by the Secretary of the Treasury: Oliver Wolcott.
Four pages, very nice condition.
