COLUMBIAN CENTINEL (No. 2358; Boston, MA; Wednesday, October, 29 1806)

Boston: Columbian Centinel, 1806.

One large bifolium sheet printed on all four sides--page size is roughly 14” x 20”; the paper is still quite supple; some general edgewear; faint water-staining; a fantastic snapshot of history with local and international news as well as the endlessly entertaining classifieds including ads; on the front page is a “Proclamation for a Day of Public Thanksgiving and Praise” by the Governor of Massachusetts, Caleb Strong.
