AURORA GENERAL ADVERTISER, Philadelphia, Jan. 9, 1802 The back page has an illustrated advertisement for: "The Learned Pig" offering an exhibition of his talents, which include: "He reads printing, or writing, spells, tells the time off the day...the date of the year, the day of the month..." and more. Admission is 25 cents.
This was one of several "learned pigs" through the years, with a Wikipedia page on the curious attraction.
Four pages, small loss near the top of the spine margin does not affect this item, good condition.
