Washington's state-of-the-union address, from the nation's capital...



Item # 676836

December 01, 1795

NEW YORK MAGAZINE OR LITERARY REPOSITORY, December, 1795 

* President George Washington
* State of the Union Address


The issue is filled mostly with an eclectic collection of articles, while the back three pages contain news items of the day.
The most notable content is the: "President's Speech" being Washington's state-of-the-union address for the year, signed in type at its conclusion: George Washington. It consumes nearly 4 pages.
Among the articles are: "A General View of Siberia & the Inhabitants" taking 3 pages, and "A Description of Iceland" taking over 4 pages.
Certainly one of the less common 18th century American magazine titles, existing from just 1790 to 1797.
No plates are present.
A 64 issue but lacking a leaf near the back which just had poetry. Lacking a full title/contents page, 4 3/4 by 8 inches, two library stamp on the back page, otherwise generally good.
