NEWBURYPORT HERALD & COUNTRY GAZETTE, Massachusetts, March 17, 1801 Page 2 contains Thomas Jefferson's first inaugural address, headed and beginning: "City of Washington, March 4 - PRESIDENT'S SPEECH. This Day at XII o'clock, Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States, took the oath of office required by the Constitution in the Senate Chamber, in the presence of the Senate, the public officers, and a large concourse of citizens. Previous to which he delivered the filling ADDRESS: Friends & Fellow Citizens, Called upon to undertake the duties of the first executive office of our country..." with his inaugural speech taking two columns & signed in script type: Thomas Jefferson.
Just previous to this report is Jefferson's address to the Senate upon leaving the President of that body to become the President of the United States, it signed in type: Th. Jefferson, followed by: "The Senate's Answer".
Of very curious interest is the paper upon which this issue was printed, being blue-green in color; quite unusual.
Four pages, minor margin wear and a small archival mend to an upper corner, nice condition.
