1787 EARLY CONSTITUTION of the United States Printing Annual Register Americana
“This, a most valuable record and chronicle of historical and political events for over a hundred years contains accurate accounts of the Revolutionary War, as well as the revolutions in South American, the Second War with Great Britain, and many other American subjects.”
– Sabin, 1614
Through the end of the 18th-century, “The Annual Register” became the most respected journal in print. The periodical was a reference work that contained major events from each year, focusing on economics, politics, arts, trends, and world developments. Many leading historians of the American Revolutionary period, including David Ramsay, James Murray, and William Gordon “borrowed heavily from the Annual Register” (Gephart 1016, 2565).
This 1787 register covers major military events, but is most desired for the early printing of the United States Constitution. Other topics include:
- State of affairs in Holland, arrests of princes of Orange
- British commerce treaties with France
- French perspective on the causes of the Revolution
- Accounts and descriptions of Serbian people, Wodyacks
- Summary of Ali Bey from Volney’s ‘Travels’
- Early accounts of Mexico and customs of central America
- Poetry of Thomas Wharton
- Content on Negro slavery and Mulattos
- Science letters from Benjamin Franklin
- Much, much more
