Item # 704042
November 12, 1791
COLUMBIAN CENTINEL, Boston, Nov. 12, 1791
* President George Washington
* re. State of the Union Address
Almost half of the front page is taken up with: "Answers Of Both Houses of Congress to The President's Speech", meaning George Washington's 3rd annual state-of-the-union address.
The first column has "The Senate's Answer" which is signed in type: John Adams, Vice President of the United States & President of the Senate" to which the president gave a short reply, signed in type: G. Washington.
This is followed by the "Answer of the House of Representatives" to which the President replied as well, signed: Geo. Washington.
This is followed by various reports from "Congress, House of Representatives" headed with an engraving of a heraldic eagle.
Page 2 has a report: "Federal City" which notes that "On Monday...the sale of the lots in the City of Washington commenced. About 40 lots were sold--the highest purchase 200 pounds...The cause why more lots were not sold was the great number of speculating Locusts, which swarmed on the spot." with just a bit more.
This great front page with the George Washington content makes it nice for display.
Four pages, never-trimmed, wide margins, great condition.
AI notes: George Washington’s 1791 State of the Union Address praised the nation’s growing prosperity and stability. He urged Congress to strengthen infrastructure like the postal system and military, promote education and the economy, and treat Native Americans justly. Washington emphasized unity, national progress, and the importance of civic knowledge in preserving liberty.
