Somewhat dusty and lightly foxed upper blank fore-margin of half-title torn away otherwise a good copy. First edition. ESTC locates a single edition but with the date inferential 1716. The present copy is explicitly dated. The occasional attribution to Ayliffe is noted by ESTC but is problematic as the issues herein pertain to charges of disturbing the peace and political rowdiness while at a tavern rather than to the issues that preoccupied Ayliffe at the time.

1787WRCAM55477APhiladelphia: Printed for Seddon Spotswood Cist and Trenchard 1787. 2615-674pp. plus one plate of two. Lacks folding table. Engraved and letterpress titlepages. Later blue wrappers with facsimile of printed volume titlepage mounted on front wrapper. Moderate soiling to wrappers. Minor toning and foxing to text closed marginal repair to one leaf. About very good. The first periodical printing of the United States Constitution probably issued within a week of its release as a broadside. The Constitutional Convention ratified its final draft on Monday Sept. 17 1787. The following day the broadside version issued for members of the Convention was printed by Dunlap and Claypoole the official printers. On September 19 the same printers issued the first public printing of the Constitution in their newspaper THE PENNSYLVANIA PACKET. The present magazine was probably printed late in the week and the final signature containing the Constitution and recent news was probably printed on Saturday September 22. This is the latest internal date on the last page and actually refers to an event that took place on the 17th as "Monday last." From a survey of Mott's HISTORY OF AMERICAN MAGAZINES in the period it seems that it was common practice to issue monthly publications by the last week of every month. This issue would seem to have been out and in general circulation by Monday the 24th one week after the end of the Convention. Its version of the Constitution was executed most likely on the 22nd four days after the official broadside and three days after the first public newspaper appearance. This issue also contains the text of John Quincy Adams's Harvard commencement address he finished second in a class of fifty-one which was given in Cambridge on July 18 1787. It is his first published writing. This copy contains one of the two plates published in this issue lacking the folding plate of the Natural Bridge in Virginia and the folding table of meteorological observations. <br> <br> THE COLUMBIAN MAGAZINE was a distinguished publication of the period. Mott calls it one of the best 18th-century American magazines. It began in September 1786 and was well established with Mathew Carey's AMERICAN MUSEUM as one of the two major periodicals then being issued in Philadelphia or for that matter the country at the time. Since the magazine probably had wider circulation than the newspapers issued in Philadelphia it is likely that this printing was one of the chief means of disseminating the Constitution immediately after its first publication. <br> <br> An exceptionally early and important printing of the Constitution.

Pages 276-286 print in Very Good condition the proposed U.S. Constitution claimed as its first magazine printing. Overall Good in modern pale grey paper over boards.<br/><br/> This September issue is credited along with another Philadelphia publication 'The Columbian Magazine' as the first periodical printing of the Constitution of the United States. The prefacing paragraph and Preamble are also printed: "The Constitution framed for the united states of America by a convention of deputies from the states . at a session begun May 14 and ended September 17 1787. We the people of the united states in order to form a more perfect union establish justice." After the Constitution signatures in type of George Washington and other delegates listed by state are printed; followed by Washington's two transmittal letters to the States and Congress's resolution signed in type by Charles Thomson as Secretary "recommending the appointment of state conventions to consider the preceding constitution". <br/> The Constitution is not the only item of importance contained in this September number. It also has an early American printing of Benjamin Franklin's "Information for those who wish to remove to America" first printed privately in Passy in 1784; and several other essays on American commerce politics and culture.<br/>Lomazow 22e.
