178721085.99<p>"<i>We the People of the United States…</i>"</p><p>This rare complete printing of the Constitution appeared on the first day it was publicly available Wednesday September 19 1787. That same morning the Constitution was published by four other papers the <i>Pennsylvania Packet and Daily Advertiser</i> <i>Pennsylvania Journal Pennsylvania Gazette</i> and <i>Freeman's Journal.</i> The <i>Independent Gazetteer</i>is unique in that it is the only one of the five first-day printings whose type was evidently not used to print another stand-alone edition.</p> <b>U.S. CONSTITUTION.</b>Newspaper. <i>The Independent Gazetteer or the Chronicle of Freedom</i>. Philadelphia: Eleazer Oswald September 19 1787. 4 pp.<p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>This issue of <i>The Independent Gazetteer and Chronicle of Freedom</i> a daily Anti-Federalist newspaper prints the "<i>Plan of the New Federal Government</i>" in full followed by the Federal Convention's resolution submitting the Constitution to Congress and the accompanying transmittal letter. All three are signed in type by George Washington as president of the Convention.</p><p>The Constitution was approved by the Convention on Monday September 17. The text of the official version was set that evening and a very limited number were printed for the use of the delegates. After being drafted in complete secrecy the Constitution was first made public on the morning of Tuesday September 18 when it was read before the Pennsylvania General Assembly. The next morning Wednesday September 19 the five newspapers mentioned above all published the Constitution. It is often assumed that the <i>Pennsylvania Packet</i> was the first public printing as the publishers Dunlap and Claypoole were the official printers to the Constitutional Convention. In fact there is no evidence that the <i>Packet</i> actually was published first or appeared on the streets of Philadelphia that day any earlier than its four rivals. All five are considered first editions with surviving copies of the <i>Packet</i> the most common.</p><p>The dissemination of the Constitution in newspapers is of considerable interest and importance as it was through this medium that most Americans became familiar with the new form of government proposed by the Convention. One careful researcher Leonard Rapport of the National Archives has identified four Philadelphia newspapers which also carried the text of the Constitution on the same day this was after all news of the highest importance and one the Philadelphia <i>Evening Chronicle</i> which may <i>hypothetically</i> have carried the text in an issue dated 18 September "Printing the Constitution" pp. 69-90. But to date no copy of the <i>Evening Chronicle</i> of that date is known to be extant see Rapport's other article "Newspaper Printings of the Constitution".</p><p>The <i>Pennsylvania Packet</i> printing has been accorded primacy for two principal reasons. First the <i>Packet</i>was printed by John Dunlap and David C. Claypoole official printers to the Convention itself. Together as partners or separately Claypoole may originally have been a junior partner they had printed nearly everything issued by Congress since 1775 including the 1776 Declaration of Independence. Second with the exception of the Constitution's six-line preamble "We the people…" the text is <i>entirely printed from the same setting of type used for the official Congressional printing.</i>As Rapport notes the 5000 words of the Constitution represented "nearly one man-day of composition time" for the printer so sensibly to make use of the wider margins of the <i>Packet's</i> larger sheets they reset the preamble in large type with a large capital "W" below the masthead and simply reimposed the rest of their standing type to fit onto the paper's four larger-size pages. The case might be summed up by emphasizing that the present <i>Pennsylvania Packet</i> text of the Constitution was struck from the identical setting of lead type that had printed the sheets of the official Congressional printings sheets that Jacob Shallus calligrapher used when he copied onto parchment the engrossed document to which the delegates signed their names.</p><p>"By October 6 only twenty days after the Federal Convention at least fifty-five of the approximately eighty newspapers of the period had printed the.Constitution." Rapport "Printing the Constitution" p.89. With the text of the Constitution before the people thanks to a free press the great debate on its ratification would begin a debate which continued until ratification by the original thirteen states was completed in 1790 and culminated in 1791 by the adoption of the Bill of Rights. Despite the tremendous changes since 1787 in the nation and the people governed by the Constitution Bernstein meaningfully notes "the evolution of American politics and society continues to be shaped by the Constitution and by the principles and doctrines built into it by the men who drafted it. That the Constitution has worked as well as it has is a tribute to its flexibility and to the foresight of those who created it. That it may still be defective or capable of improvement is a challenge to us to equal the courage imagination and versatility of the Revolutionary generation of Americans" <i>Are We To Be A Nation</i> p.272.</p> Eleazer Oswald books

178769121London: Sold by T. Wilkie 1787. UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION. The London Chronicle "The New Plan for the Constitution of the United States of America". Vo. LXII. No. 4834-4835. From Saturday October 27 to Tuesday October 30 1787 and From Tuesday October 30 to Thursday November 1 1787. Pages 409-424. London: Sold by T. Wilkie 1787.<br> <br> Likely the first public printing of the United States Constitution in England. This newspaper printing precedes the know first edition pamphlet published by Debrett as well as the first magazine printing in "The Gentleman's Magazine." It is broadly stated that news of the United States Constitution hit England early in November however the dates of the Chronicle precede this by a few days. This copy also contains the preliminary cover letter from George Washington to the president of Congress which is usually included with early printings of the Constitution and which states Washington's strong support of ratification. "The Plan" is printed in its entirety without comment or explanation from the publisher.<br> <br> Together two issues no. 4834 and 4834. Each issue self bound along left margin. 11 3/8 x 8 5/8 inches; 288 x 222 mm. Number 4834 is four leaves pages 409-416 and number 4835 is four leaves pages 417-424. The first part of the Constitution is printed on pages 413-414 of the first part with the end stating "To be concluded in our next" and the second part is printed on pages 420-421. Both issues very good with just some slight toning. Page 421-422 trimmed close at top margin just touching header. A small red stamp on verso of first leaf of each issue along bottom margin. Overall about fine. We could find no other copies of this or any earlier British newspaper containing the US Constitution on Rare Book Hub. We could not locate any copies on OCLC or ESTC. Housed in a custom quarter red morocco clamshell.<br> <br> At the time of the Constitutional Convention John Adams was living in England as a diplomat. In a letter to John Adams from Elbridge Gerry dated September 20th 1787 just one day after the first newspapers in America printed the Constitution he states "The proceedings of the Convention being this day published I embrace the Oppertunity of transmitting them by a Vessel which is to sail this morning for London." According to the National Archives "Gerry enclosed a copy of the new U.S. Constitution. Gerry likely sent this letter to John Adams via the Prince George Capt. Strong which departed New York City in late September and arrived in London on 3 Nov. New York Independent Journal 1 Sept. 1787 2 Feb. 1788." This shows that it would have been impossible for news of the Constitution to arrive in England much before this date of November 3rd. Lengthy searches turn up no indication that any other British publication has a copy of the US Constitution before this London Chronicle printing. The National Archives go on to state "The U.S. Constitution was adopted on 17 Sept. 1787 and British newspapers first published the text in late autumn. The London Chronicle printed the preamble and the first article in its 27-30 Oct. issue and the remaining articles and signatures in its 30 Oct. - 1 Nov. issue. "<br> <br> The London Chronicle was a thrice weekly newspaper also known for being " one of the first to break the news that the United States had declared independence from the British Empire reporting on the event in its 13 August 1776 edition. It was also one of the first to publish the declaration in its entirety in the 15-17 August 1776 edition but containing no explanation or comment as to what it was" Wikipedia. This holds true for their publication of the Constitution as well.<br> <br> United States Constitution now the longest continuing charter of a national government in the world and "the product of a revolution in political thought at least as important and far-reaching as the winning of American independence from Great Britain and the culmination of the intellectual ferment and political experimentation in the new republic" Richard B.
