tail and marching with instruments with the caption below, 'The
Standard Bearer of the CSA. A H_____l of a feller'. Was at one
time glued in a scrap book as so many were. Has a few rough
edges with some small areas of missing paper where I'm sure at
one time there was glue.

HAMPDEN PATRIOT (SPRINGFIELD, MASS.) OCT., 1820-
Four page newspaper Hampden Patriot of October 11, 1820.
Typical newspaper of the period but has an interesting ad on the
center of the front page about 3/4 of the way down, Medical
Lectures courses at Harvard University. I guess most anyone
could attend at that time. Very good condition considering the
age.

TYPE SIGNED GEORGE WASHINGTON - COLUMBIAN
CENTINEL - 1794- Four page newspaper Columbian Centinel
(Boston, Mass) from March 7, 1794. Interesting items are two
laws (back before everyone had to have a rider tacked to a law)

George Washington. The Centinel was one of few that would
have a script signature of Washington for this type of matter.
Paper is in very good condition but has two pieces of scotch tape
on the back page - negligible.
