Details:

Gazette of the United States (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania), March 7, 1792. Complete four-page newspaper featuring the continuation of an important report from Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton submitted to the House of Representatives concerning the public debt and the financial administration of the young United States. The front page carries Hamilton’s signed printed heading, “Treasury Department, February 6th, 1792,” followed by his extensive report analyzing the nation’s domestic debt, public credit, and financial obligations. Inside are reports from Congress, national and international news, commercial updates, and official government notices, with the final page devoted to advertisements, shipping information, commodity prices, real estate offerings, and other notices.

Folded as issued with expected age toning, scattered foxing, edge wear, and several small marginal chips and tears, primarily along the right edge.

Founded in 1789 by John Fenno, the Gazette of the United States served as the leading Federalist newspaper during the administrations of George Washington and John Adams. Closely aligned with Alexander Hamilton and the Washington administration, it became the principal outlet for publishing official government reports, congressional proceedings, and Treasury documents. Original issues containing Hamilton’s financial reports are highly desirable as firsthand records documenting the establishment of the United States’ early financial system and the foundations of the nation’s public credit.
