CONSTITUCION FEDERAL DE LOS ESTADOS-UNIDOS DE AMERICA CON DOS DISCURSOS DEL GENERAL WASHINGTON.

ref. 55421Mexico: Imprenta a cargo de Martin Rivera 1823. First Mexican Printing of the U.S. Constitution This is the first Mexican printing of the United States Constitution accompanied by two important addresses by George Washington. This work was produced in anticipation of Mexican independence from Spain and the U.S. Constitution in particular provided inspiration to the drafters of the constitution of newly-independent Mexico. Written in 1824 it was the first constitution of Mexico as a sovereign state and the constitution under which the colonization of Texas by Americans would take place. It is ample evidence of the transnational influence on the United States Constitution on emerging democracies in this case America's neighbor to the south. All seven articles of the United States Constitution are printed in full in Spanish in a section that is headed by a Federal garland ornament. The names of all the signers are given at the conclusion of the main text. This is followed by a section printing the first twelve amendments titled here as "Correcciones" an interesting interpretation of the role of constitutional amendments. The final page contains the text of an amendment passed by the House and Senate and signed in print by Senate President pro tem John Gaillard and House Speaker J.B. Varnum prohibiting any American citizen from accepting a title of nobility or honor from a foreign government under threat of losing one's American citizenship and holding any further elective office. This "Titles of Nobility" amendment was passed by Congress in 1810 and came close to ratification by two-thirds of the states in the 1810s but has to this day never been ratified. The inclusion of this amendment is an interesting commentary on the priorities and concerns of Mexican lawmakers. The U.S. Constitution is preceded by two chapters printing addresses by George Washington whose actions following the American Revolution and his two terms as President were influential well beyond the borders of the United States. The first chapter prints Washington's 1796 Farewell Address to the United States "Discurso de Despedida de Washington al Pueblo de los Estados-Unidos". Designed by Washington and his principal advisors in drafting it—James Madison and Alexander Hamilton—as both a valedictory and advice to succeeding generations the address served as a guidepost to Americans from the point of its publication. The Farewell Address would have been of particular interest to the Mexican Constitutional framers. The second section prints Washington's Address to the Continental Army in 1783 "Carta Circular del General Washington a los Gobernadores de los Estados fecha en el Cuartel General de Newburgh 18 de Junio de 1783". In this circular letter General Washington announces his intention to resign his command of the Continental Army and retire into private life. He also expounds in detail on the serious issues facing the nascent United States government. Both of Washington's addresses are printed fully in Spanish as is the Constitution.

The Columbian Magazine: September 1787. First Periodical Printing of The United States Constitution.

1787ref. 153385Philadelphia: Seddon Spotswood Cist and Trenchard 1787. Rare first periodical printing of the United States Constitution likely published within a week of its issuance as a broadside. Octavo disbound with a later string binding. The Constitution first appeared as a broadside followed quickly by its first newspaper appearance in The Pennsylvania Packet; later that same week it appeared in two magazines The Columbian Magazine and The American Museum and it remains unclear which of the two came first. The Columbian Magazine printed the Constitution in Philadelphia in 1787 on pages 659 to 665 under the title “The new plan for a Federal Government proposed by the Convention” together with the letter of George Washington transmitting the document from the Constitutional Convention to the Congress. In good condition with toning wear and chipping to the edges several leaves unopened including the Constitution leaves scattered soiling and foxing the meteorological table chipped at the left margin with some loss of text and the upper portion of the final leaf chipped away with loss not affecting the Constitution. Housed in a modern brown morocco pull-off case with chemise. Evans 20280. Mott A History of American Magazines I pp. 94-99. With the meteorological table and one of two plates lacking the View of the Natural Bridge in the State of Virginia. A rare and fragile survival of one of the earliest printings of the founding document of the United States. The Columbian Magazine published in Philadelphia from 1786 was among the earliest and most ambitious American monthly magazines mixing essays literature history and engraved plates. Its 1787 number carries one of the first printings of the United States Constitution which the Constitutional Convention had signed on September 17 of that year accompanied by George Washington’s letter transmitting the document from the Convention to the Congress. In the weeks after the signing the Constitution was rushed into print as a broadside in newspapers and in the new monthly magazines carrying the text to a public that would spend the following year debating and ratifying it and making these earliest appearances landmarks in the founding of the United States. Seddon, Spotswood, Cist, and Trenchard unknown
