COLUMBIAN CENTINEL, Boston, 1800  A collection of four consecutive issues dated July 23, 26, 30, and August 2, each containing a part of: "An Act for the Better Government of the Navy of the United States" which is obviously very lengthy, needing to stretch over four newspapers.
The Act of Congress begins on the ftpg. of the July 23 issue & continues on the front pages of the following three issues, ending with the August 2 issue where it is signed in script type by the President: John Adams, and in block type by the Vice President: Th. Jefferson.
Each issue is complete in 4 pages, never-trimmed margins, still bound together, nice condition. A nice set of four issues with a singular focus.
