FIRST MAGAZINE PRINTING OF THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION, appearing on pp 276-286. There was a contemporary printing of the Constitution that appeared in the The Columbian, but recent scholarship seems to indicate that was published two days later. This issue also contains an early American printing of Benjamin Franklin's "Information for those who wish to remove to America," first printed privately in Passy in 1784.
