Item # 703924

January 11, 1800

COLUMBIAN CENTINEL, Boston, January 11, 1800  Being less than a month since the death of George Washington, it is not surprising that there is still content relating to him and his death.
Page 2 has several documents from the state of Massachusetts & city of Boston concerning Washington, and also a "Speech" signed by the (acting) governor of Massachusetts, Moses Gill, relating to Washington. Also: "Tributary Honors in Boston and "Eulogy" with related text carrying over to page 3.
Complete with four pages, all margins on all pages have wide, black mourning rules, irregular at the spine, various small archival (and 1 non-archival) mends near margins.
