February 08, 1797
THE NEW WORLD, Philadelphia, Feb. 8, 1797 A quite scarce title, and until a recent find, the very first we have offered in our 44 years. It published for exactly one year.
Page 3 has a report above the name "Franklin" noting: "My fine crab-tree walking stock with a gold head, curiously wrought, in the form of the Cap of Liberty I give to my friend and the friend of Mankind, General Washington. If it were a sceptre he has merited it and would become it."
Four pages, never-trimmed margins, very nice condition.
