* HMS Psyche launching
Page 2 begins with "An Act" of Congress which takes 1 1/2 columns, signed in type by the President: James Madison. Page 2 also has: "...an attempt was made to launch the frigate Psyche, which did not succeed, owing to the severity of the cold. This day she went safely into her element in a most handsome style. She is a beautiful ship." This was a British ship launched at Kingston, "Upper Canada".
Four pages, nice condition.
