The Annual Register, Or a View of the History, Politics, and Literature for the Year 1787

8vo, later calf backed marbled boards, 320, 202 pp. Edges and covers rubbed, occasional bit of foxing, but overall very good. The most important feature of this collection is an early British printing of the United States Constitution (p.289-300). Also contains a curious description of two Negro children with some unusual physical markings (see p.53-55). Very interesting coverage of a few executions, including a woman who was hanged for forgery is also provided.
