January 20, 1796

COLUMBIAN CENTINEL, Boston, Jan. 20, 1796

Much of page 2 is taken up with the "state of the state" address delivered by the governor of Massachusetts & signed by him in type: Samuel Adams.
Page 3 has a notice: "DIED--At his seat in Norwich, Jan. 8. His Excellency Samuel Huntington, Esq., 64..." with content on the funeral ceremonies. Huntington was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence.
Four pages, very nice condition.
