Washington and Napoleon Buonaparte...
Item # 704062
April 05, 1797
COLUMBIAN CENTINEL, Boston, April 5, 1797 At the bottom of the front page is an Act of Congress which is signed in script type by the President: Go. Washington.
This was one of just a few newspapers which used the script type for documents signed by politicians, making such issues very displayable.
Amongst the various items on page 2 are: "Mr. Monroe's Speech" and two documents signed: Buonaparte, concerning "Important Victories in Italy".
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed with wide margins, great condition.
