COLUMBIAN CENTINEL, Boston, Massachusetts, January 25, 1800

* President George Washington funeral

The entire front page second column is taken up with: "Continuation of Funeral Honors In memory of the Sainted Washington" which as various text as well as the order of the funeral procession, noting the position of the bier in relation to the pall bearers (see images). Funeral coverage carries over to take half of the third column as well. Nice to have front page text concerning the funeral ceremonies of George Washington.
Four pages, small piece from the top of the back leaf, browning at the top, minor margin wear. Generally nice.
