THE AMERICAN MUSEUM, (Philadelphia), October, 1788* United States Constitution
American magazines from the 18th century are increasingly uncommon. This was one of the more successful titles.
The front page has: "Remarks on a Resolve of Congress for Raising Troops...". Inside includes: "Address to the Independent Electors of the Federal Government" "Thoughts on the Constitution of Maryland..."; a continuation of: "Observations on the Constitution Proposed by the Federal Convention" which takes nearly 3 pages. Also included is a very notable document, headed: "Letter V" and signed in type by Fabius. This was the pseudonym of John Dickinson, who wrote a series of 9 letters in support of the proposed Constitution, this being his letter #5, contained in its entirety.
Also in this issue is "Letter II of the: "Pennsylvania Farmer's Letters", also written by John Dickinson, but from 20 years previous. Near the back is: "American Intelligence" which has the latest news items of the day.
Complete in 88 pages, disbound without a full title page as the "Contents" page is at the back, 5 1/4 by 8 3/4 inches with wide, never-trimmed margins, great condition.
