Beginning on the front page and concluding on page 2 is: "Inauguration and Inaugural Address" of President William Henry Harrison. Most of the space is taken up with his very lengthy inaugural address.
Following the address is: "The Inauguration of William Henry Harrison" which continues: "...as President of the United States, took place in the form and manner prescribed by law and usage, on Thursday the 4th inst. The following order off arrangements for the occasion..." and more on the procession and the formalities and what happened after the inauguration.
There are at least 3 distinctions of Harrison as President: 1) his inaugural address is the longest on record; 2) he was the first President to die in office; 3) he served as President for the shortest term (31 days).
