August 24, 1796
COLUMBIAN CENTINEL, Boston, Aug. 20 and 24, 1796 A pair of issues: beginning on the front page of the Aug. 20 issue, carrying over to page 2, and concluding on pages 1 and 2 of the Aug. 24 issue is the complete text of the: "PROCLAMATION" by the President for putting into effect a treaty with Spain. It is signed in script type at its conclusion: Geo. Washington.
This was one of just a few newspapers which occasionally used script type for printed signatures of notable officials.
The front page of Aug. 20 also has two Acts of the Mass. legislature signed in type by the governor: Samuel Adams.
Each issue is complete in 4 pages, very nice condition.
