GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES & EVENING ADVERTISER, Philadelphia, April 17, 1794
* Uncommon 18th century American publication
Given that Philadelphia was the temporary capital of the United States while the District of Columbia was under construction, it is nice this issue has reports from Congress during this early year of the federal government.
Complete in 4 pages, never-trimmed margin, very nice condition.
AI notes: In 1797, Philadelphia was serving as the temporary capital of the United States, a role it held from 1790 to 1800 while Washington, D.C., was under construction. During this time, all branches of the federal government operated from the city, including Congress, which met in Congress Hall. A key event in 1797 was the inauguration of John Adams as the second U.S. president on March 4. As the nation's largest city and a major political and cultural center, Philadelphia played a vital role in shaping the early U.S. government under the Constitution.
