RARE ANTIQUARIAN REVOLUTIONARY WAR CONTINENTAL CONGRESS 13-VOLUME SET, Journals of Congress: Containing Their Proceedings [From September 5, 1774 to November 3, 1788]. Published by Authority. Philadelphia: Folwell's Press, 1800 and 1801. Volumes I-IX in their original matching full-leather bindings, the remaining in later library bindings.
Literature: Sabin 15545; Evans 38750; Shaw & Shoemaker 1487-1490.
Catalogue Note: Folwell's re-issue of the journals was authorized at the direction of Congress in 1799 in an edition of only 400 sets for the use of members of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Prior to this, Congress's Journals appeared only in annual volumes, published over the years by three different printers, and in various formats. These first issues became increasingly difficult for members of Congress to acquire, and they are largely unobtainable today. This collected edition, published by Folwell using the original annual volumes, covers the First and Second Continental Congresses, with the Declaration of Independence printed in full in Vol. II (pp. 229-233), the proceedings of the Congress of the Confederation, with the Articles of Confederation printed in full in Vol. III (pp. 396-401), the end of the American Revolution, with Congress's ratification of the Definitive Treaty of Paris, printed in full in Vol. IX (pp. 20-25), and through to the adoption of the United States Constitution in 1788, with entries in Vol. XIII regarding its adoption.
Very good to fine overall condition; the interiors are tight, with typical toning and scattered foxing; Vol. I with minor insect loss to the top right corner of the first three pages, not affecting the text; and Vol. X with a small hole in the title page affecting "Journals." Vols. X-XIII with library stamp and minor markings to the title pages. The bindings are solid, with less-than-normal wear and rubbing.
NOTE: All condition reports are based on general observations only and are not meant to serve as a detailed analysis of condition. Please contact the department with your specific condition questions.
