September 15, 1787-Dated Newspaper, The Providence Gazette and Country Journal, Rhode Island, (September 15, 1787 was the very day the U.S. Constitution was ratified), Choice Very Fine.

This newspaper has the name of its subscriber “R. Steere Esqr” written in its tope left margin, along with a notation, “a Cure far a Cancer in the Last page.” A very clean, well printed and impressive newspaper with a great vivid Masthead design, 4 pages, complete, with a most historic Report stating:

“The year 1776, is celebrated for a revolution in favour of Liberty. The year 1787, it is expected, will be celebrated with equal joy, for a revolution in favor of Government. The impatience with which all classes of people (a few officers of Government only excepted) wait to receive the new Federal Constitution, can only be equaled by their zealous determination to support it...”

Plus major Numismatic History: New United States Copper Coins: “The Coinage of federal Cents (1787 FUGIO Coppers) we are informed is going on in New-York, and that they will soon be in Circulation.” Plus, much more typical contemporary news, and advertisements.
