Item # 701190
November 02, 1803
COLUMBIAN CENTINEL, Boston, Nov. 2, 1803 The top of the front page has an historic notice headed: "Louisiana Treaty" announcing the ratification of the treaty by the Senate by which the United States acquired the Louisiana Territory, referred to as the Louisiana Purchase. It lists the names of the senators who voted against the treaty and those who voted in favor of the treaty.
This report is followed by the text of the: "Treaty Between the United States of America and the French Republic" containing the ten articles, followed by the text of two "Conventions" each with several more articles relative to the agreement. The Treaty and two Conventions are each signed in type: Rob. B. Livingston, Barbe Marbois & Jas. Monroe. Collectively the report and the documents take 2 1/2 columns.
Four pages, archival strengthening at the spine, minor flaking at the right margin, a few other discrete archival mends at margins. Generally nice condition.
