* President George Washington
* John Adams & Thomas Jefferson

Page 2 has a nice Act of Congress headed with an engraving of a heraldic eagle & signed in type by the president: George Washington, as well as by John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.
Page 3 has an item headed: "Portrait of the President" done by Mr. Trumbull. The back page has an article titled: "The Whistle--A True Story, Written by Dr. Franklin to his Nephew." which takes over half a column.
Also has a report from the "Treasury Department" signed in type: Alexander Hamilton.
Four pages, archival mend at the top of page 2, a printing crease in the Franklin item but causing no loss, ink stain above the masthead, light foxing.

Considered by many as the most significant newspaper of the 18th century, as the Gazette was the mouthpiece of all matters political. Most pronouncements from Congress & the President were printed first in this newspaper.
