State ratification conventions would soon pit Federalist against Anti-Federalist in impassioned debates over the implications of the Constitution and its extension of national government power and influence.</p><p>This is the earliest available Connecticut printing of the Constitution. The Connecticut Journal printed it one day earlier but we can find no copies in market sales records of the last 30 years.</p><p>The text of the Constitution is preceded here by George Washington's letter to Congress and followed by the Resolution for ratification.

199211170Washington: Commission on the Bicentennial of the United States Constitution 1992. First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine. Square small quarto 300pp. illustrated. A crisp clean copy near fine with the inner hinges just starting but holding. Top edge very faintly foxed. This copy SIGNED and INSCRIBED by Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Warren Burger on his embossed presentation card which is tipped onto the front paste-down. The name is a bit difficult to read but it is most likely Roswell Perkins who was President of the American Law Institute at the time of publication; certainly someone to whom Burger was likely to have presented this book. Burger had retired as Chief Justice several years before publication but was the Chairman of the committee that organized and published this book. An appealing copy.

1716WRCLIT65972London: Printed for John Baker at the Black Boy in Pater-Noster Row 1716. 4351pp. Octavo. Extracted from pamphlet volume untrimmed. 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.
