COLUMBIAN CENTINEL, Boston, Nov. 21, 1792  

* President George Washington
* & others are citizens of France

A page 2 report states that: "The following persons have been declared FRENCH CITIZENS by the National Assembly of France...George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Paine, Dr. Priestly..." and several others.
Another item says: "Virginia has again instructed its Senators in Congress to use their influence to have the doors of that house opened...".
Other items include: "Peace With Certain Indians" which takes over half a column on the front page.
Four pages, never-trimmed margins, very nice condition.

Background: This rare November 21, 1792, edition of the Columbian Centinel is a museum-grade time capsule from the "Age of Revolutions," headlined by a stunning page 2 report of the French National Assembly officially declaring George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, and Thomas Paine as citizens of France. This extraordinary cross-pollination of American and French revolutionary history is framed by "frontier" dispatches including a massive, half-column front-page report on "Peace With Certain Indians," providing a visceral look at the Northwest Indian War era. Beyond the high-stakes politics of the U.S. Senate’s "secret doors" and the Enlightenment-era updates on Dr. Priestley, the physical condition of this specimen is truly elite: it features entirely untrimmed, deckled margins and crisp, four-page integrity, preserved on high-quality 18th-century rag linen paper that remains remarkably bright and supple after 230 years.
