- The United States Constitution As Published in the Annual Register, or a View of the History, Politics, and Literature, for the Year 1787

London, J. Dodsley, 1789. First Edition. Hardcover. Bound in contemporary calf-backed marbled boards. While some copies have a title page dated 1788, the first edition was published in 1789. One of the most desirable volumes of this prestigious series as this year contains an early printing of the United States Constitution including the text of its submission signed in type by George Washington. There is also an account of the examination of "a motley-coloured, or pye Negro Girl and Mulatto Boy" from Guadaloupe exhibited before the American Philosophical Society. Early ink stamp on front pastedown; clean copy in a worn binding with the spine dry and rubbed and the joints split but holding tight. Good .
