Item # 694476

January 20, 1800

FARMERS' MUSEUM OR LAY PREACHER'S GAZETTE, Walpole, New Hampshire, Jan. 20, 1800 Page 3 has half a column with various political-related items, and which includes several items concerning the recent death of George Washington.
A few bits include: "...The eulogy on the character of Washington, which was lately delivered by Mr. Paine in Newburyport, is said to be, in no respect, inferior to the usual style of that gentleman's performances...Proposals for publishing, by subscription, the life of the late General Washington. The work will be immediately put to press...Owing to an unavoidable circumstance, our Gazette has not been lined with the common testimonial of respect for the character of the deceased Washington. On the ensuing week its columns will be shrouded in black..." with a bit more.
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, some minor loss at the blank spine, very nice condition.
