About This Item
Philadelphia: John Fenno, 1799. 222,vi,xiv pp. Modern half calf and marbled boards, spine gilt, leather label. Old institutional stamp on titlepage verso. Scattered light foxing. Very good. The Journal prints President Adams' Address to Congress of Dec. 8, 1798, discussing at length the "alarming and destructive pestilence" which had prevented the assembling of the government at Philadelphia; and recommending that Congress pass public health measures, by virtue of its power over interstate commerce, to prevent a recurrence. Adams also discusses the quasi-War with France, and the mischief-making by Spain among the southern Indians. The Blount impeachment trial, Connecticut's cession of the Western Reserve, the census, the Non- Intercourse and Judiciary Acts, the establishment of the Post Office, are among the subjects treated.
