On the Funding Act... Washington, Adams & Jefferson... Building a lighthouse at Cape Henry...

GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES, N.Y., Oct. 2, 1790   Both pages 3 and 4 have two separate documents on carrying into effect the very historic Funding Act of 1790, whereby the new federal government assumed the debts of the individual states incurred during the Revolutionary War.

Most of the front page is taken up with the conclusion of the: "Collection Law" of the United States, signed in type by the President: George Washington, as well as by John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.

The back page also has a Treasury Dept. notice signed in type: Alexander Hamilton seeking bids for supplies for the various forts in the West.

And the back page has yet another "Treasury Department" document for building a light house at Cape Henry, Virginia.

Four pages, a bit of minor foxing, slightly irregular at the spine, nice condition.
