Nice newspaper from Washington's administration...



Item # 704855

October 22, 1796

THE HERALD; A GAZETTE FOR THE COUNTRY, New York, Oct. 22, 1796 

* During George Washington's administration

A very typical late 18th century American newspaper with a good mix of news reports of the day and advertisements.
The back page has nearly 2 columns taken up with a notice from the Treasury Dept. headed: "Lands of the United States". This concerns the sale of land: "...in the territory north-west of the Ohio and above the mount of Kentucky river...".
A fine opportunity for an early newspaper at a low price.
Four pages, very nice condition.
