COLUMBIAN CENTINEL, Boston, Sept. 25, 1790
* President George Washington
* Benjamin Franklin & more
The front page is mostly taken up with three Acts of Congress, headed with an engraving of a heraldic eagle, each signed in script type: George Washington, and in block type by Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. (printing crease deters some but causes no loss of type).
Page 2 has an article headed: "The Americans" noting: "The famous john Paul Jones, at the head of the Americans, resident in Paris, applied for permission to do homage to the Assembly at the Bar & was admitted; and after having delivered their discourse, the President replied, 'LIBERTY, Gentleman, has its supporters and friends in the EAST and in the WEST--Her throne is erected on the two Worlds.' "
Also a nice article headed: "Dr. Franklin" giving honor to his reputation in Europe (he died in April).
Four pages, minor paper loss at the blank spine, good condition.
