Quarter-leather. Condition: Good. Acts of the Third and Fourth Congress (1797) - Rare Richard Folwell Printing A Foundation Stone of American Law from the Final Years of the Washington Presidency This is an exceptional and scarce First Edition of the collected session laws from the Third and Fourth Congresses (1793-1797). While most bibliographies record these acts as separate printings by Francis Childs, this volume features the much rarer Richard Folwell imprint, which compiles both sessions into a single, significant legislative record. Historical Significance: This volume captures the critical "infancy" of the United States government during the final years of George Washington's presidency. It includes: Acts Passed at the Second Session of the Third Congress (1794) Acts Passed at the First and Second Sessions of the Fourth Congress (1795-1796) Comprehensive Index: A complete digest of the laws of the United States arranged by subject. Condition & Binding: Binding: Beautifully preserved in a Modern Quarter-Leather binding with decorative paper sides. The binding is remarkably tight and secure. Interior: The text remains clean throughout. The title page shows authentic age, being quite worn with a corner missing on the top right edge (not affecting text). The final page has a 4-inch closed tear along the spine, common for documents of this period. An essential acquisition for high-level collectors of Americana, Constitutional law, and the Federal period. [Store Location: 2.2].
