Item # 706703
July 15, 1796
FEDERAL GAZETTE & BALTIMORE DAILY ADVERTISER, July 15, 1796 Curiously, five different type fonts are used to print the title in the masthead.
The back page has a document headed: "The United States of America" being a patent of 14 years issued to Robert Dawson who: "...hath invented a new & useful improvement in bolting cloths, etc...", signed in type by the President: Go. Washington.
This issue also has no fewer than two runaway slave reward ads, both with much detail.
Four pages, a small binding hole near the spine, nice condition.
