Description
First edition, first issue, of the first official journal of the Continental Congress, one of the earliest publications of the American government, "a book of the greatest rarity," containing the seminal "Declaration of Rights and Resolves" to the King and Parliament on colonial rights, and featuring the famous woodcut design on the title page that represents the first attempt to create a seal to "represent emblematically a united nation" in America. Bound with a first edition of the official journal of the second Congress, from May 10 through September 5, 1775—the activities of this summer, against the background of open conflict in Massachusetts, are among the most dramatic of the Revolutionary era. Together, two of the most fundamental documents of the American Revolution, both very rare.
