A rare and foundational piece of early American legislation and a vital steppingstone on the road to a permanent United States Post Office, signed by Thomas Jefferson as secretary of state. Originally established under the Continental Congress in 1775, the duties of the Post Office were more or less inherited by the Washington a…dministration at the end of the Revolutionary War. Shortly after the Constitution was adopted in 1789, an "Act for the temporary Establishment of the Post Office" was passed by the first Congress, solidifying its position in the new government. The present act is one of three passed between 1789 and 1792 which extended the duration of that original act while a final version was debated, bridging the gap until the Postal Service Act of 1792 finally made the Post Office permanent. In addition to extending the lifetime of the temporary Post Office, the present act also provides free franking privileges to officials in the Treasury Department and extends postal service from Albany to Bennington. The main text reads in full: "Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that the act passed the first session of Congress, intituled, 'An act for the temporary establishment of the post-office,' be, and the same is hereby continued in full force until the end of the next session of Congress and no longer. "And be it further enacted, That all letters to and from the treasurer, comptroller and auditor of the treasury, and the assistant to the Secretary of the Treasury, on public service, shall be received and conveyed by the post, free of postage. "And be it further enacted, that the postmaster-general shall be, and he is hereby authorised to extend the carrying the mail from Albany, in the state of New York, to Bennington in the state of Vermont." The act is signed in manuscript by Thomas Jefferson as Secretary of State, and is signed in type by Frederick Muhlenberg as Speaker of the House, John Adams as Vice President, and George Washington as President. The final act permanently establishing the Post Office was passed the following year and would confirm Congress' role in determining postal policy, allow for special rates on the mailing of newspapers, and forbid tampering with or opening of private mail for any reason. ESTC and OCLC together record five copies, located at Yale, Williams College, the Library Company of Philadelphia, the New York Public Library, and the Library of Congress. A rare and important piece of American postal history, signed by Thomas Jefferson. EVANS 23871. ESTC W17602. OCLC 54177042, 319437800, 1230250042. Lightly soiled, old folds. Some splitting along folds, reinforced with tape on verso. A few small closed tears to margins, repaired on verso. Very good overall.

Contact seller5-star seller2pp. on single folio sheet. Signed in print by George Washington, John Adams and Frederick Augustus Muhlenberg. In 1791, as part of Alexander Hamilton's economic program, the Federal government issued a tax on distillers of whiskey. After several years of tension and hardships faced by farmers on Pennsylvania's western frontier…(for whom whiskey was a principal source of income), violence began spreading against the region's tax collectors. The present separately-printed Act, approved by George Washington on May 9, 1794, authorized the President to require the governors of each state "to organize, arm and equip" and "hold in readiness to march at a moment's warning . of eighty thousand effective militia, officers included." After negotiations with the insurrectionists failed, Washington declared martial law in the region on August 7, 1794. A military force, composed of various state militias as authorized with this act, and under the direct command of Washington, Hamilton and "Lighthorse Harry" Lee, assembled and marched into western Pennsylvania. In the face of an army numbering well over ten thousand men, the rebels scattered and no large-scale use of force was necessary. While the tax remained nigh impossible to collect, the government's response showed the growing power of the Federal government and that the infant nation had the willingness and ability to enforce its laws. There would appear to be two printings of this act, the other issued by the War Department on 1-page (see Evans 27979). Evans 27852 Disbound. Numerical notation at upper left 2pp. on single folio sheet. Signed in print by George Washington, John Adams and Frederick Augustus Muhlenberg. Signed.

Contact seller4-star sellerOne side of single sheet. This Act of the first session of the third Congress of the United States authorized Federal construction of a lighthouse at Cape Hatteras and a lighted beacon at Ocracoke. Although the Act was signed into law by President Washington in 1794, construction of the two navigational aids was contingent upon…the State of North Carolina ceding the land for them to the Federal government. This process along with the construction of the lights were not accomplished quickly; the beacon at Ocracoke was not put into operation until 1798, the lighthouse at Cape Hatteras not until 1803. Separately issued Acts of the early Congresses ("slip laws") such as this were printed in very limited quantities -- in the dozens as opposed to hundreds; they appear only infrequently on the market. NAIP locates copies of this Act at four institutions -- the American Antiquarian Society, Brown University, Library Company of Philadelphia and University of North Carolina. Evans, American Bibliography: 27853. [For a discussion of the print runs of slip laws, see Powell, The Books of a New Nation, United States Government Publications, 1774-1814: pp. 87-99.] Folio. Edges browned. Three stab holes in left margin from prior string tying. Erased pencil markings at head of sheet.

Mostly on 3-stave braces, but also on 2- and 4-stave braces. With numerous corrections, deletions, and corrections; 2 entire measures canceled. Browned, but on good quality laid paper and in… very good condition overall. Attached at corners to thin window mat, at the foot of which is an inscription in an unknown 19th century hand in German identifying the manuscript as follows (in translation): "Original manuscript by Carl Maria von Weber. The present piece is the first draft of the chorus and ballet from the third act of Oberon. Thanks to its bouncy, exquisite melody, it became a favorite of the German people even before the opera's first performance, based solely on the piano-vocal score. The draft has English text because Weber composed Oberon, which was destined for London, with English text to get as close as possible to the spirit of the nation. This prompted him to a most serious study of the language in his final years. August 1847 [Signed with Initials] [? Etw] . Berlin." For an account of various manuscript sources of Oberon, see Jähns 306, p. 391. Oberon, to a libretto by James Robinson Planché after Christoph Martin Wieland's eponymous poem, was first performed in London at Covent Garden on 12 April 1826. "The première . was a great success, with lavish settings and spectacular scenic effects that impressed even Weber, and the opera remained popular throughout the season. . It contains some of Weber's most delightful music, which has assured the work a permanent, if peripheral, place in the repertory. . The brilliant overture opens atmospherically with Oberon's horn-call, which acts as a motif throughout the work. With the overwhelming success of his opera Der Freischütz in 1821 [Weber] became the leading exponent of German opera in the 1820s and an international celebrity. A seminal figure of the 19th century, he influenced composers as diverse as Marschner, Mendelssohn, Wagner, Meyerbeer, Berlioz, and Liszt." Paul Corneilson, Clive Brown, et al. in Grove Music Online.
