Death of the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court...
Item # 718094
May 23, 1829
COLUMBIAN CENTINEL, Boston, May 23, 1829 Page two has a report with a small heading: "John Jay is No More" with the article beginning: "It seldom falls to our lot to record the death of so distinguished a man as this. Another Revolutionary Patriot has gone down to the grave..." (see).
John Jay was President of the Continental Congress, the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and co-author of the Federalist Papers among other distinguished accomplishments during his career. The full report is shown in the photos.
Complete in 4 pages, a small piece from the right margin causes some loss but not close to the Jay article. Otherwise nice.
