COLUMBIAN CENTINEL (No. 2637; Boston, MA; Wednesday, July 12, 1809)

Boston: Columbian Centinel, 1809.

One large bifolium sheet printed on all four sides--page size is roughly 14” x 20”; the paper is still quite supple; general edgewear and soiling; contemporary owner name in ink on the top of the front page; a fantastic snapshot of history with local and international news which includes updates from Europe in the midst of the Napoleonic Wars as well as the endlessly entertaining classifieds; notices for auctions and sales for everything from green coffee to salt.

Very Good binding
