Louisiana Purchase Is Reported In "The Spectator"

(LOUISIANA PURCHASE).
Oct. 26, 1803, The Louisiana Purchase is reported in "The Spectator" newspaper, New York, 4 pages, folio, Very Fine. Page three reprints the full important text of the historic "Treaty Between The United States of America and the French Republick" that conveyed, "...the Colony or Province of Louisiana, with the same extant that it now has in the hands of Spain, and that it had when France possessed it...". The margins have their original outer ragged edges with minor outer edge selvage losses. Overall, quite nice and readable example of this very scarce and extremely desirable original period newspaper printing of the "Louisiana Purchase".
