Item # 703212
April 17, 1790
THE MASSACHUSETTS CENTINEL, Boston, April 17, 1790 The front page features an Act of Congress signed in script type by the President: George Washington, and in block type by John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. Also much reporting from Congress.
Page 3 has a report headed: "Assumption of State Debts".
Also a feature is a large, illustrated advertisement for an "Orange Outing", presumably an orangutang, looking more human-like than it should.
Four pages, untrimmed margins, very nice condition.
